The so-called Han Dynasty refers to the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-9 AD), also known as the pre-Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty (later Han Dynasty) are collectively called the Han Dynasty. It was a unified feudal dynasty in ancient China after the Qin Dynasty. On February 28th, 202 BC, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Han, which was known as the Western Han Dynasty in history. Liu Bang was the emperor of Emperor Gaozu. 10 September 10 year 10 October, Wang Mang became emperor, changed his name to new, and the Western Han Dynasty perished. There were fourteen emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, which lasted 2 1 1 year. The Western Han Dynasty was a peak of China's cultural development, with all-round development of social economy, culture and art, and increasingly frequent foreign exchanges, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time.

During the Western Han Dynasty, many great poets and excellent works appeared in China. Han Fu, Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Parallel Prose of the Six Dynasties, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu and Ming and Qing novels are juxtaposed to form a generation of literature. Cifu in the Western Han Dynasty is the most representative literary style in the Han Dynasty. Between poetry and prose, there are both verse and prose, which can be said to be the prose of poetry and the poeticization of prose. Ci and Fu in the Western Han Dynasty are eclectic and self-contained. It draws lessons from Chu Ci, the question-and-answer form of essays in the Warring States, the extravagant style of writing, and the narrative techniques of pre-Qin historical biography literature, and often incorporates poetry into it. Judging from the poetic forms adopted, there are traditional four-character poems, as well as new five-character poems and seven-character poems. The stylistic sources of Ci and Fu in the Western Han Dynasty are various, which is a comprehensive literary style, and its huge capacity and strong expressive ability benefit from it to a great extent.

Lu Jia first pointed out the importance of cultural construction, and inspired and guided the supreme rulers to sum up the experiences and lessons of the rise and fall of the previous dynasties with excellent political papers. At the same time, Lu Jia also used fu to express his feelings, which opened the prelude to literary creation in Han Dynasty.
