Emperor Xuan of Han
91 BCE–48 BCE · Chang'an (Xi'an)
Emperor Xuan of Han (Liu Xun, 91-48 BCE) was an emperor of China's Western Han dynasty who reigned from 74 to 48 BCE. A great-grandson of Emperor Wu who had been raised as a commoner after his family was destroyed in a court purge, he was enthroned by the powerful minister Huo Guang and later consolidated his own authority. His reign is generally regarded by historians as a high point of Western Han governance and prosperity, sometimes called the "Zhao-Xuan Restoration," and saw the submission of the Xiongnu and the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
