Knowledge points include: the role of centralization of authority in Qin Dynasty, the "favor decree" in Han Dynasty, and the development of three provinces and six departments.
In the early Western Han Dynasty, there were 54 counties in China, of which only 15 county was directly ruled by the central government, and 39 counties were under the jurisdiction of vassal states. The largest counties under the jurisdiction of Qi are 6 counties, 7 1 county, 3 counties and 57 counties under the jurisdiction of Wu, and 3 counties and 76 counties under the jurisdiction of Chu. The princes have great power, and the officials in the kingdom are appointed by the king himself except for assisting the king's teacher and the prime minister in charge of the kingdom's government affairs.
Every kingdom collects taxes; Make your own coins; Own chronology; Have a huge army. This high power shows that the vassal state is basically an independent kingdom, which constitutes an unstable factor. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, most of the princes were children of a few years old, and they were fledgling and could obey the central authorities. With the growth of princes and their governance of the country, it becomes extremely difficult to control them.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Jia Yi, a famous politician, saw that this country was a threat to the central government. He vividly said to Wendi: "The love of the world is a big illness, with a leg like a waist and a finger like a stock."

Every place is a monarch, and every vassal state is within its own territory, which is like the existence of an emperor, like a country within a country, or a country within a country in the hinterland of the big fellow.
It had a great influence on the rule of the Han Dynasty, and it was not easy to move him. After all, domestic troubles and foreign invasion are signs of national subjugation. Therefore, how to solve the mess left by our ancestors is the biggest problem that every emperor in the Han Dynasty has to face when facing the powerful rival Xiongnu.
