The Qin State originally worshipped four emperors (White Emperor, Blue Emperor, Yellow Emperor, and Yan Emperor), plus five emperors of the Black Emperor. According to the 12th era of Lü Buwei, the Five Emperors are the gods in charge of the four directions, the four seasons and the five elements.

    The Yellow Emperor is in the center, with Tude; Taihao lives in the east, Gu Mude, the main spring, also known as the Spring Emperor; Emperor Yan lives in the south, has fire virtue, and is the main Xia, also known as Emperor Yan; Shaohao lives in the West, has Jinde, Zhuqiu, also known as the White Emperor; Zhuan lives in the north, has water virtue, the main winter, also known as the Black Emperor.

Shao Hao, Zhen Xuan, Emperor Yu, Yao, Shun (pseudo "Shangshu Preface"); With the respect of its scripture status, it is said in future historical books.

    Therefore, the three emperors and five emperors were regarded as the ancient history of letters; The Yellow Emperor (Xuanyuan), the Green Emperor (Fuxi), and the Red Emperor are also called the Yan Emperor (Shennong), the White Emperor (Shaohao), and the Black Emperor (颛顼) (Five Directions).

    If you want to count the children of the Qin Dynasty. Hua Hui is Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng and Qin II Hu Hai, Ziying, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying.

    In addition, does it count as the status of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu at the time of the Chu and Han rivalries. Because it was indeed him who commanded Liu Bang and these kings at that time. It's just that Liu Bang began to oppose him.

    Just like when Yingbu later turned against Qing and made stupid opponents of Liu Bang. Liu Bang asked him why he was opposed. Yingbu said, you didn't have the same reputation for Xiang Yu before.

    It can be seen that Xiang Yu was indeed a leader at that time. If you want to count Xiang Yu as a term. There is no Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying.
