What was Liu Ying like in history?

Liu Ying finally succeeded to the throne at the age of 15. Unfortunately, he died after only seven years as emperor. In these short seven years, he seems to have accomplished nothing, but in fact he has done a lot. He is an emperor with little fame and great achievements.

Liu Ying succeeded to the throne on the right path. He continued to practice the policy of recuperating with the people during Liu Bang's period. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he appointed Cao Can as prime minister and implemented the recuperation policy formulated by Liu Bang and Xiao He. When Liu Yinggang ascended the throne, he wrote to restore the original policies of 15% tax and 1% tax, cancel the tax increase rule during Liu Bang's period, and reduce the burden on the people.

In order to encourage farmers to farm and promote population growth, Liu Ying also exempted farmers from corvee and ordered folk women to get married as soon as possible. If a woman is not married at the age of fifteen, she will be taxed five times.

Culturally, Liu Ying abolished reciting calligraphy. Holding books is a law that Qin Shihuang implemented when he burned books. In addition to allowing relevant government departments to collect books, private books are prohibited.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court inherited the Qin system, and calligraphy was no exception. Liu Ying realized that the development of the country could not be separated from the progress of cultural thought, so he boldly abolished this decree, which provided a premise for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to determine Confucianism as the ruling thought of the country.

In addition, Liu Ying completed his brief rule of the city. When Liu Bang was in power, Chang 'an had no imperial city, only a few streets and no city walls. After Liu Yingyi succeeded to the throne, he decided to rebuild a city and built it for four years.

According to historical research, Ancheng, rebuilt by Liu Chang, is the capital of Rome in the world. Later, Chang 'an became the national political, economic and cultural center, and soon all aspects prospered. It's a pity that such a good emperor who loves his people like a son was scared by his mother. The ultimate cruelty. He never got sick and died young at the age of 22.
