Emperor Wen of Han, personal name Liu Heng, was the fifth emperor of the Han dynasty, reigning from 180 until his death in 157 BC. The son of Emperor Gao and Consort Bo, his reign provided much needed stability within the ruling Liu clan after the unstable and violent regency of Empress Lu. The prosperous reigns of Emperor Wen and his son Emperor Jing are highly regarded by historians as the Rule of Wen and Jing. He was one of only four Western Han emperors to receive a temple name, along with Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xuan.
