Emperor Hui of Han was the second emperor of the Han Dynasty in China, ruling from 195 to 188 BCE. He was the son of Emperor Gaozu, the founder of the Han Dynasty. His reign is often characterized by a period of relative peace and stability, as he continued his father's policies and focused on consolidating the empire. Despite his peaceful reign, Emperor Hui was known for his weak leadership and reliance on his mother, Empress Dowager Li, and his advisors. His inability to assert control led to political instability, which eventually contributed to the rise of powerful court factions and the decline of the Han Dynasty.
