Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty may be the most thrifty emperor in the history of China, or at least the most famous emperor. According to Records of the Historian, Emperor Wen's frugality is typically manifested in three aspects: in building a palace, he is reluctant to build a terrace worth 100 yuan; In daily life, he is not allowed to have a dress that sweeps the floor, and there are tattooed curtains in the harem; As far as tombs are concerned, gold, silver, copper and tin are not allowed in his tombs, but only pottery. ...

Emperor Liu Heng China of China was famous for his frugality. He usually wears linen and a pair of sandals, and his clothes will be mended when they are broken. Emperor Wen of Han was also very strict with the harem. He knew that women's clothes cost a lot of cloth, because the clothes that were popular at that time had tails at the back, but he asked the harem clothes not to have such tails because of the membership fee materials.
