Han Wu-Ti was the seventh emperor of the Han Dynasty, ruling from 141 BC to 87 BC. During his regency he formed China like few other rulers before or after him, which earned him the honorable title of Wu – The Warlike. Wu-Ti laid the foundation stone for a greatly developed central administration and established China’s first university, thus becoming a committed defender of China’s cultural heritage. During his reign Confucianism became the state's orthodox philosophy and arts flourished. China enjoyed a level of affluence and prosperity that has remained unrivaled until today.
