Qi. Crown prince of Emperor Wen. He was on the imperial throne for seven years, then in the Zhongyuan era for seven years, and in the Houyuan era for three years, making seventeen years in all. He lived to the age of forty-eight. Considering that the penal floggings of five hundred and three hundred lashes were too severe, the Emperor abolished the floggings. He maintained Emperor Wen's accomplishments, transformed customs, and reformed conventions; the common people were pure and honest. Just as the Zhou had Cheng and Kang, the Han praised Wen and Jing.
