Lv Zhi (24 1- 180) was born in Shan County, Shandong Province, and his father was single. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, she was honored as the Empress Dowager (195- 180), and was the first recorded empress and empress dowager in the history of China. Known as, also known as the Henkel Empress and Lv Hou. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty reigned for seven years, and since the first year, he no longer listened to politics because of the "smuggling" incident; Lv Hou has been the son of heaven for two years in a row. Since the first year, he has been listening to the government. During the reign of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty and Emperor Shao of Liang Dynasty, the person who actually held political power was Lv Hou, who was in power for 15 years. Therefore, official history such as Historical Records and Hanshu recorded Lv Hou's life in a biographical way. Han Huidi and Lu Yuan are both Lv Hou's own children. According to Hanshu, after Liu Bang's death, Modu, the leader of Xiongnu, issued credentials to propose to Lv Hou, in order to praise the strength of Xiongnu and deliberately belittle the strength of Han Dynasty. Lv Hou politely refused on the grounds of old age, but continued to pursue the policy of getting close to Xiongnu.
{{Lv Zhi's rule in power is a threat to the Liu family of the royal family. The Preface to Taishi Gong said: "If you benefit early, you will not stand; Chongqiang Lu, produce it, and the princes seek it; It is a curse to kill a hidden friend. " But for the whole country, when Lv Zhi was in power, he could reuse talents and implement the policy of "the skill of Huang Lao and the skill of the rest of the people", which laid a good foundation for the later rule of Wenjing. Sima Qian's evaluation of her in Historical Records Lv Hou is that "the government stays at home and the world is natural; Punishment is rare, and sinners are hope; People's affairs are cultivated, and food and clothing are cultivated. " Give great affirmation to Lv Hou's administration.
At the end of the New Dynasty, the high-impedance Changling was dug up by the Red Eyebrow Army, and Lv Zhi's body was humiliated in the same cave.
