On the Policy of Civilization and Encouraging Farming in Han Dynasty

In Han dynasty, the policy on officials in charge of the agricultural was relatively complete. Besides the Emperor also took part in the Cultivating Ceremony by himself, and the local officials en-couraged farmers to sow. And they elected Litian who's outstanding in cultivating crop. The empha-sis on agriculture from the local government to the central government shone brightly with the influ-ence of moralization. The court made general policies of macro-control in agricultural development, and the local officials suited their measures to different conditions in terms of locality, time, issue and persons involved so that local farmers are willing to accept. The magistrates had charisma because they presented the Court and they worked themselves to set a good example, so the result turned to be well. In this condition, the common people could live and work in peace and contentment, which pro-vided very favorable conditions for social stability, and farther, the national policies can be carried out more smoothly. What a virtuous cycle it was!
