Liu Yuan was a Xiongnu, why was the dynasty he established also called the Han Dynasty ?

Because he wanted to use the Han Dynasty to buy people's hearts and stabilize his regime。There are several reasons why we should do this.

Reason 1The Han Dynasty is a rare national unity in history, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han Dynasty still has a very high status in the hearts of the people, Everyone is proud of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty was destroyed in the end, but the people can't stand the Han in their hearts, and the Han Dynasty is also famous in the world, and they all know that the Han Dynasty is very powerful, so Liu Yuan wants to borrow the Han Dynasty.

The second reason is that in ancient times, they all pursued a policy of harmony and proximity, and the descendants of the Xiongnu were of Han blood, so let's say Liu Yuan, his own ancestors had a princess of the Han DynastyThe Huns follow their mother's surname, so his surname is Liu, and he is naturally a descendant of the Han people, although he is a Hun but his surname is Liu, so he can naturally take the opportunity to say that he is a member of the Han Dynasty, and he can also use Han as the country name.

Reason 3 is because the Han Dynasty ruled for 400 years, and it was not long before the country died, and the situation in the world was still very chaotic, and the people were thinking about the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yuan understoodAt this time, if you want to sit in this position, you have to prove to the people that your regime is legitimate and orthodox, and tell the people that you are also a descendant of the Han people, and you don't have to worry about it being different. History proves that he took advantage of the Han Dynasty, successfully destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and established the first state of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Han Zhao.

Reason four is:Liu Yuan was unhappy in the Xiongnu and often encountered unfair treatment by foreigners, so he also wanted to get closer to the Han people, but he is here in the Han nationality, everyone knows that he is a Huns, and many Han talents are not used by him, so he has to find a way, that is, to tell the people of the world under the "Han flag" that he is also a Han person, so as to properly stabilize the people's hearts.

Because the Han Dynasty was founded for 400 years, and now the country has not long been destroyed, and the current situation of chaos in the world makes people miss the stable Han Dynasty even more, so we should buy people's hearts under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty.

I think the reason why Liu Yuan established the Han Dynasty was because he wanted to prove that he was also capable of doing something in the Han Dynasty, so he called it the Han Dynasty.

Because the Han Dynasty has a long history and he also wants to win people's hearts under the banner of the "Han Dynasty", the dynasty established is also called the "Han Dynasty".

This is to stabilize the hearts of the people, the Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, and the sudden change of dynasty will have an impact on the people's hearts, so he still continues to call the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty has a long history and has a certain solid foundation, if it is called the Han Dynasty, it can win the hearts of the people and make the people feel that they can rely on it as much as the Han Dynasty.

Because the Han Dynasty has a long history, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he did not change the dynasty, fearing that the change of dynasty would affect the people's hearts.

At that time, he established this dynasty in the name of reviving the Han Dynasty, so it was called the Han Dynasty, so as not to have a bad reputation for him.

The Han Dynasty has a long history, and when the Han Dynasty died, he wanted to win over the people under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, making people feel that the Han Dynasty could still be relied on.

Because he felt that if he called the Han Dynasty, the original subjects of the Han Dynasty would be more obedient to him, and then used it to cover up his identity.

He even wanted to continue the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty had just died, so it was also called the Han Dynasty in order to win the hearts of the people.

1. Because Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, married a daughter of the clan as a princess to Mao Dun Shan Yu, the leader of the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, and was a brother with Mao Dun Shan Yu, the descendants of Mao Dun Shan Yu all took Liu as their surname. And Liu Yuan is a descendant of Mao Dunshan Yu. Therefore, Liu Yuan considers himself a descendant of the Han family.

Second, his relationship with Liu Chan is that they both belong to the Han family.

3. The reason for posthumously calling Liu Chan Emperor Huai of the Han Dynasty:

Liu Yuan thought that he was the nephew of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, and his ancestors had been brothers with the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed, so he should inherit it, and he could also be called Han.

Because I want to listen to it better, I also want to ascend the throne by the surname of a nobleman.

After Liu Yuan proclaimed himself King of Han, he claimed to be the successor of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Raise the banner of "opposing the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty" and announce to the world: Heaven tempted him, repented of the emperor and Han, and made Sima's father and son brothers kill each other. Li Shu was devastated and accused".

Although he is a Xiaolong, his ancestors are Han Chinese, so he thinks he looks ugly.

This method of "backdoor listing" has a very positive effect on proving to the world the legitimacy of one's own regime and stabilizing the political situation.

At that time, the Han Dynasty was the right thing in the world, and the Han Dynasty was the co-master of the world, and even after the end of the Han Dynasty, many people still believed so. Under the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty, they are telling the world about their legitimacy. To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty was too bullish, and many people think that it is right to hug this big tree.

Liu Yuan said in the Book of Jin: Ran Jin.

People may not be with me, Han has the world for a long time, kindness is in the hearts of the people, and I am the nephew of the Han family, about a brother.

Brother, brother dies brother Shao, isn't it? Now it can be called a Han, and the future lord is respected to cherish the people's hope. The purpose is to borrow him as the nephew of the Han Dynasty and win the hearts of the people Similar to Liu Bei's purpose.

In such a turbulent era as the Western Jin Dynasty, the people were not happy, and the Western Jin Dynasty was unpopular, so Liu Yuan raised troops to win the hearts of the people under the banner of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, he called the emperor Liu Chan Emperor Huai of the Han Dynasty in order to make his throne justifiable, so he won the hearts of the people.

Because he has Han blood, and his ancestors are also surnamed Liu, naturally, the couple's children have the wife's surname, and the children naturally belong to the wife's family.

He was a Hun for the prosperity and stability of the Central Plains and the invasion of the Central Plains, so he posthumously named Liu Chan as Emperor Huai of the Han Dynasty.
