The Rule of Xiaoxuan: The Han System and the Resurgence of the Western Han Dynasty is an accessible scholarly work that chronicles the history of Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, and the Western Han Dynasty during and around his reign. Using Liu Xun's life experiences as the narrative thread and the significant historical events of the mid-Western Han period as the contextual framework, the book provides a detailed account of the Rule of Xiaoxuan under Emperor Xuan's governance. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the formation mechanisms of the Han political system, the causes behind the resurgence of the Western Han Dynasty, and the governance philosophy of combining the ways of hegemony and kingship (ba wang dao za zhi) as well as its practical trajectory toward enriching both the state and its people. Simultaneously, the book not only directly portrays various aspects of administration, scholarship, military affairs, and diplomacy during the resurgence of the Western Han Dynasty but also sheds light on the historical operational mechanisms of a unified China, such as the inner and outer court systems, economic pathways, state governance ideologies, and the forms and characteristics of intellectual culture. It delves deeply into the fundamental structure and functioning of the Western Han system and its profound impact on the subsequent two millennia. During the mid-Western Han period, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, exhausted the nation's resources through relentless military campaigns, leading to a state of national exhaustion and popular hardship. As a result, his successors, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, struggled amidst a weakened dynasty and a suffering populace. Ultimately, Emperor Xuan achieved the resurgence of the Western Han Dynasty by implementing the philosophy of combining the ways of hegemony and kingship, adopting policies of recuperation for the people, and pursuing diplomatic strategies of peace and amity. This culminated in the Rule of Xiaoxuan, the zenith of the Western Han Dynasty's history. The book also examines the debates on enriching the state versus enriching the people during the Salt and Iron Conference, elucidates the academic significance of the unification of classical studies at the Stone Canal Pavilion Conference, and explores the issues of virtuous versus harsh officials in Western Han governance. Furthermore, it touches upon broader themes in Chinese history, such as central institutions, economic policies, administrative models, scholarly thought, and political ideologies, making it a work of considerable academic value and contemporary relevance. 《孝宣之治：汉家制度与西汉中兴》是一部书写西汉宣帝刘询及其在位前后西汉王朝历史的学术通俗作品。本书以汉宣帝刘询的生平经历为经，以西汉王朝中期的重要历史事件为纬，详尽叙述了汉宣帝刘询统治西汉王朝时期的孝宣之治，全面分析了汉家制度的形成机制和西汉中兴的成因，以及汉代霸王道杂之的治国理念与国富民富的实践轨迹。同时，本书不仅直接呈现了西汉王朝中兴时期的行政、学术、军事和外交的诸多局面，而且侧面展现了大一统中国的历史运行机制如内外朝制度、经济运行路径、国家治理理念、思想文化形态及其特征等，并深度剖析了西汉制度生成与运作的基本脉络及其对后世两千年的至深影响。 在西汉中期，汉武帝刘彻穷兵黩武导致海内疲敝的局面，以至于继其任的汉昭帝、汉宣帝深陷西汉王朝国力虚弱、民生凋敝而艰难挣扎，最后汉宣帝通过实行霸王道杂之的理念、与民休息的政策与和平通好的外交策略终于中兴西汉，并创造", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/7/52/311/418/7523114180_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "32.99", "online_price" : "32.99", "our_price" : "32.99", "club_price" : "32.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
