Wu Guang was a prominent figure during the early Han Dynasty in ancient China. He is best known for his role as a military leader and strategist, particularly during the Rebellion of the Seven States in 154 BCE. His actions were significant in shaping the political landscape of the time. Wu Guang's rebellion was a response to the central government's attempts to consolidate power and reduce the autonomy of regional states. Although the uprising was ultimately suppressed, it highlighted the tensions between local rulers and the central authority, influencing future governance in the Han Dynasty.
