Reason: In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty and the four-year dispute between Chu and Han caused social unrest and serious economic damage, which led to very poor social economy in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Han court decided to advocate the rule of Huang Lao and adopted the policy of "paying less taxes" and "sharing interest with the people". "The rule of Wenjing" refers to the prosperous period of governing the world during the reign of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi in the Western Han Dynasty.

Under the rule of unified kingship in the Han Dynasty, the ruling class followed the historical development and adopted corresponding ruling policies, which was in line with the social development at that time, thus promoting political progress and economic prosperity, resulting in a famous unprecedented prosperity in the history of China.

Extended data:

During the Wenjing period, the idea of governing by doing nothing in the early Han Dynasty was implemented, and all political measures were actually carried out around the idea of governing by doing nothing, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty gradually recovered. The relatively broad political atmosphere in Wenjing era was conducive to social and economic development and cultural progress at that time. This is of great significance to the economic recovery and development at that time.
