Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was an outstanding politician and strategist in the history of China. His life experienced the demise of the Zhou Dynasty, the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty and the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and he became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang's outstanding leadership and resourcefulness made him unique in history and became the only emperor who lived for three dynasties.

Liu Bang was born in Zhou Nanwang in 59 (256 BC). After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he emerged in the turbulent situation. After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for hegemony and experienced a magnificent Chu-Han war. In the end, in the battle of Gaixia, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and laid the foundation for his domination of the world.

After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he established the Han Dynasty and became the first monarch of the Han Dynasty in the history of China. In 202 BC, the emperor ascended the throne and named the country "Han", which created the history of the Han Dynasty for more than four centuries.

As an outstanding monarch, Liu Bang paid attention to people's livelihood, practiced lenient policies and made great efforts to govern. He adopted many flexible political means and won wide support. During the period of "the rule of Wenjing", the economy and culture of the Han Dynasty flourished, which laid the foundation for the later "the rule of the Western Han Dynasty".

However, in the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 195), Liu Bang was shot by an arrow when he was fighting against Ying Bu rebellion, so he became seriously ill and finally died in the same year. As an emperor of three dynasties, Liu Bang's outstanding political achievements and contributions to the foundation of the Han Dynasty made him one of the great monarchs in the history of China. His deeds were praised by later generations and left a far-reaching historical impact on them.

He implemented frivolous taxes to restore people's livelihood, which made the social economy of the Han Dynasty recover and develop rapidly.

He also promoted the county system, which strengthened the ties between the central and local governments and ensured the stability and unity of the Han Dynasty. He also pays attention to absorbing and using talents. He was able to recruit wise men and appointed many talents, such as Xiao He, Sean and Han Xin, and made great contributions to the construction and development of the Han Dynasty.
