Liu Bang was the first emperor of Han dynasty, succeeding the Qin dynasty, approximately from 2200 to 2193 BCE. Qin dynasty had implemented the legalism, a philosophical conception, which was based on the strict obedience to the law, and harsh punishments to those who disobeyed.

He somewhat respected someof the structureof the Qin emperor's government, but he adopted Confucianism as a doctrine more than that of legalism, becoming into themost noticeable trace of his reign, so the answer is He wasmore lenient and was guided by Confucian ideals.
