Han Dynasty
Qin Dynasty
Ming Dynasty

Answer
The Han Dynasty, particularly Emperor Wu, played a crucial role in shaping the perception of Han Fei's Legalist school. While initially embraced for its strong emphasis on authority, the school's teachings faced increasing opposition due to their perceived harshness and focus on swift punishment. Ultimately, Emperor Wu officially criticized and devalued Han Fei's doctrines, effectively vilifying the Legalist school within the imperial court and among scholars.
