Wu-ti, fifth emperor of the Han dynasty, presided over one of China's most successful periods of expansion and consolidation. His long reign saw sustained military campaigns against the Xiongnu (Huns) that secured China's northern borders and established the foundations for centuries of imperial power.
Description
A Chinese emperor whose yellow imperial robes are embroidered with dragons, the symbol of his heavenly mandate. His formal headdress and measured bearing reflect the dignity expected of the Son of Heaven. His features carry the refined elegance of Chinese nobility, and his presence commands the respect due to one who rules over the Middle Kingdom.
