Emperor Liu Ying, also known as Emperor Hui of Han, was the second emperor of the Han Dynasty in ancient China. He reigned from 195 to 188 BCE, following the death of his father, Emperor Gaozu. Liu Ying was known for his gentle and mild temperament, which earned him the nickname "Hui," meaning "the gentle." During his reign, Emperor Liu Ying faced challenges from powerful court officials and eunuchs, which affected his ability to govern effectively. His rule was marked by a focus on peace and stability, but he struggled to assert his authority. Liu Ying's reign ended when he died at a young age, leading to the ascension of his son, Emperor Qianshao.
