From Wudi to Yuandi

A
  • Wudi (reigned 141–87 bce), reign was the longest of the entire Han period
  • manpower was more intensively used and natural resources more heavily exploited during Wudi’s reign, which required more active administration by Han officials
  • Wudi participated personally in the religious cults of state far more actively than his predecessors and some of his successors.
  • The last few years of the reign were darkened by a dynastic crisis arising out of jealousies between the empress and heir apparent on the one hand and a rival imperial consort’s family on the other.
