Abstract:

Taking as a premise the reconstruction of the relationship between the imperial rule of the Liu Family and the religious rule of Confucianism, Lu Jia designed a political strategic plan focusing on moral reconstruction and cultural renaissance. In this plan, he also tried to integrate the feudal imperial rule and the rule of Confucianism into the rule of an ideal "benevolent government". When the political and cultural conditions in the early Han Dynasty, as well as the relation between the imperial rule and the rule of Confucianism at that time, are investigated, the value of Lu Jia's political strategic design can be fully and accurately appreciated; also, the historical meaning of the political and cultural transformation in the early Han Dynasty can be better interpreted.

Key words: Lu Jia, the early Han Dynasty, imperial rule and religious rule, strategic transformation
