A colorful historical picture scroll unfolds in front of us, depicting the fate of the Liu family, the clan of the Han Dynasty. Spanning more than 400 years before and after the Han Dynasty, the glorious history of this family began with Liu Zhen, King Jing of Zhongshan, and deduced to many eye-catching figures such as Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Yu of Da Sima, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Liu Xiang of Yangzhou, and Liu Ye of Cao Wei.
The origin of the Liu clan is rooted in Liu Zhen, the king of Zhongshan, and his descendants began to spread and multiply throughout the country with the division of the clan by the imperial court. As a descendant of Liu Zhen, how did Liu Bei's family go to Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, far away?
It turned out that Liu Zhen was named Marquis of Lu Cheng, which made his family migrate to Lu Cheng County in the fiefdom of Zhongshan State, which was quite close to Zhuo County. However, Liu Zhen lost his title due to an unqualified amount of gold handed over to the imperial court, which led to the gradual spread of one of his clansmen, some of which eventually developed into Zhuo County, Zhuo County.
In addition to Liu Bei, many Han clan relatives emerged during the Three Kingdoms period, such as Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Zhang, son of Liu Yan, Liu Yu of Da Sima, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Liu Xian of Yangzhou, and Liu Ye of Cao Wei. These characters carry different historical destinies and form a colorful branch of the Han Liu family.
Liu Biao, more than eight feet long, was a famous man at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, became famous at a young age, and was one of the "Eight Jun". In layman's terms, Liu Biao is a gentle and handsome guy with rich experience in his early years, and even participated in the escape for many years due to crimes. In the end, he rode into Jingzhou alone in Dong Zhuo's rebellion and became the Jingzhou pastor of the separatist side. Liu Biao's origin can be traced back to Gaoping County, Shanyang County, and has a close relationship with Liu Bei's branch.
Liu Yan, the word Junlang, came from the Western Han Dynasty after Liu Yu, King Lu Gong. Unlike Liu Biao's family, which was near the state of Lu, Liu Yan's family migrated to Jingling County during the reign of Emperor Yuanzhang of the Han Dynasty, which is quite far away from Shandong. Liu Yan is known as the "Escapist Langjun", and he has served as the Luoyang Order, the Jizhou Assassin History, and the Nanyang Taishou. Foresightedly, when the Han dynasty was declining, he chose the semi-independent Yizhou, showing excellent governance skills.
Liu Yu, whose name is Bo'an, comes from the lineage of Liu Qiang, King Gong of the East China Sea. Liu Yu once held official positions such as Youzhou Thorn History and Ganling State Minister, and governed the northern nomads with the Huairou policy, and was highly respected by the local people. Although he was defeated and killed in the battle with Gongsun Zhan, his political achievements in Youzhou were outstanding, and he was especially valued by Dong Zhuo when he was in power, and was crowned the Great Sima.
Liu Dai, the word Gongshan, comes from the Western Han Dynasty Qi mourning Hui King Liu Fei's lineage, the official to the servant, Yanzhou Thorn History. He was defeated and killed in Qingzhou against the Yellow Turban Army. Liu Dai's uncle Liu Chong was once an honest person, an official to the rank of captain, and was deeply respected by the people.
Liu Xuan, whose name is Zhengli, is Liu Dai's brother, and he is also from the lineage of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning. Liu Miao was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, but in the face of Sun Ce's rise, he was finally defeated and fled, and died of illness in Yuzhang County.
These two members of the Liu clan are both descendants of Liu Fei, the eldest son of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Dai's uncle, Liu Chong, was known for his incorruptibility, while Liu Miao faced challenges due to Sun Ce's appearance.
Liu Ye, whose name is Ziyang, is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor. Although Liu Yan had plotted a rebellion, he was spared the death penalty because Emperor Ming of Han could not bear it. Liu Ye is well-known at a young age and is evaluated as having the talent of the world. He served for Liu Xun and later defected to Cao Cao, becoming an important advisor under Cao Cao, and his insight into the situation in the world and his ability to anticipate things like a god are remarkable.
The Liu clan of the Han Dynasty is flourishing, and has gone through the vicissitudes of life before and after the two Han Dynasty, leaving many eye-popping historical stories. From Liu Zhen to Liu Ye, every member of the Liu clan is performing their own legendary stories on the stage of the big era. Their choices, struggles and destinies are intertwined in the long river of history, adding a strong touch to the Han Dynasty. Perhaps today, we can also draw some inspiration from this period of history and think about the choices and responsibilities of families, countries and individuals in the torrent of the times.
