Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is an immortal emperor and plays an extremely important role in the history of our country. His main achievement is that the Huns dare not go south, which shows the national prestige of our country.
In fact, his contribution is not limited to this, and he is also extremely rich in political means. This can be seen from the gold he cast on his toes and horseshoes. The reasons for casting this gold product are:
Direct cause
This fantastic idea is recorded in the historical book "The History of Han Dynasty and the History of Emperor Wudi". Liang Wudi came out to hunt, and saw animals similar to Tianma and Bai Lin in the sky. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed and thought these were good omen. Because they are auspicious signs, congratulations are inevitable.
In order to make this auspicious symbol known to the people all over the world, he ordered the foundry bureau to change the gold that had been cast into a square and prototype into horseshoe gold, that is, a horseshoe gold and a horseshoe gold.
Deep reason
Of course, this is recorded in historical books and legendary. The Tianma and Berlin he saw were at best clouds. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a deep political purpose in casting horseshoe gold on forest toes.
This can be traced back to strengthening centralization and weakening the power of governors. In order to do this, the imperial court implemented the decree of promotion and "taking the title with gold". Needless to say, I think everyone is familiar with it.
And "drawing gold to win the championship" means that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked all governors to contribute money. If the quality is not enough, you will be deprived of your official title and exiled. These two policies have effectively strengthened centralization.
However, considering that it was a bit excessive, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty subcontracted the gold of Lin's toes and horseshoes to them in order to maintain national stability.
