Liu Yu is a descendant of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, but after the founding of the People

01.Liu Yu has no sense of identity with the Han family

In fact, when Liu Yu was born, the Han Dynasty had no feelings in the hearts of the common people. What's more, although Liu Yu is the heir of the Han family, because the Han family is no longer the majestic Han family of the past, he has not enjoyed the benefits of being the heir of the Han family at all. Coupled with the unfortunate experience of his birth, his mother died tragically, and his father almost threw him away.

It can be said that as a nominal heir of the Han family, Liu Yu still lived a very difficult life, maybe he was laughed at because he was the heir of the Han family but lived a very embarrassing life. So wouldn't he hold a grudge? Is it his fault that he is the heir of the Han family?

I am an heir of the Han family, and I live so hard, why do I still want to revive the Han family? Why don't you set up another banner and set up my own dynasty, then I am the founding emperor, and I am not more majestic than the heir of the Han family? <>

02.He was already named the Duke of Song

He didn't sit in the position of monarch all at once, he was just a general. As the general of the Beifu Army, he pacified the war on all sides, cracked down on the separatist forces, and formed a unified situation in the world. Because of his meritorious deeds, he was named the Duke of Song.

Think about him Liu Yu, because of his own efforts, he has been recognized by the world with the title of "Song Gong", and of course he is proud of himself. Since "Song Gong" is the beginning of his success, he will definitely continue to carry forward this name. When others hear it, "Song Gong" must be the "Song Dynasty", and they can naturally know his greatness.

In fact, Liu Yu did not receive any benefits from the Han Dynasty, and there was no need for him to repay his grievances with virtue and carry forward the name of the Han Dynasty. What's more, for anyone who doesn't want to establish himself as a king, he will definitely establish a dynasty by himself than to survive as the heir of the Han family. Moreover, there must have been people who opposed the Han family in the world at that time, and if they still used "Han", wouldn't they be causing trouble for themselves?

The first is that when Liu Yu was born, it had been more than 100 years since the fall of the Han Dynasty, and Yu Wei was not there, and the second was that Liu Yu was first awarded the title of "Duke of Song" and then became the Emperor of Song.

Because Liu Yu's throne was not inherited from the Han Dynasty royal family, and the Han Dynasty had already fallen at that time, he chose to use Song as the country name.

Liu Yu's situation was completely different when he was born, and he himself did not have much sense of identity with the Han Dynasty clan, so he used Song as the country name after the founding of the country, instead of following the Han name.

The Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, it can be said that it was a particularly powerful country in the dynasties, none of them married the princess far away, and even had the ambition of "those who offend me and strengthen the Han will be punished even if they are far away", which shows the glory of the Han Dynasty, so countless emperors want to have some relationship with the Han, the most obvious of which is Liu Bei.

In the name of reviving the Han family, he established himself as the emperor, but Liu Yu, who was a descendant of the orthodox Western Han royal family.

But instead of using Han as the country name, he used Song.

Liu Yu is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

The younger brother Liu Jiao is the twenty-second grandson, but at the time of Liu Yu's birth, the Han Dynasty had been extinct for more than a hundred years, and the Jin Dynasty.

The nobles crossed to the south, and the north was surrounded by Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

controlled, the concept of the Han Dynasty among the people has long been diluted, Yu Wei has long ceased to exist, even if the Han Dynasty clan rebelled, no one would respond, and although Liu Yu was a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family, he had never enjoyed the treatment of the imperial heir, so for Liu Yu, the Han had no sense of identity.

In the last years of the Han Dynasty, there was a proverb called: "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye." "Yuan Shu.

I thought I was the one who answered the prophecy and finally died without a place to be buried. Xu Zhi understands it as "the one who represents the Han Dynasty, Wei Ye; Like Wei, the two views are also. Facts also proved that Xu Zhi was right, Han was indeed replaced by Wei. At this time, Tuoba Jue established the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north.

If Liu Yu established the country name as Han and the folk saying was bound to be destroyed, it would be unlucky, so Liu Yu did not use Han as the country name.

Although the Han Dynasty was famous in the past, but after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Han Dynasty had no influence among the people, so it is meaningless to use the Han as the national name, it is better to use the new national name, which will make the political situation revival and vitality. Therefore, Liu Yu named the country as Song with the title of the king of Song, and also called it 'Liu Song' in history, although Liu Yu gave up using the Han as the country name alone did not affect his ability at all, attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty, defeated the Later Qin, pacified Lu Xun, eliminated the Shu Dynasty, and was known as the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Because Liu Yu is not orthodox, but a descendant of Liu Bang's younger brother Liu Jiao, he did not use Han. Moreover, the influence of the Han Dynasty at that time was not much, and the banner of the Han Dynasty was just a starting point.

Liu Yu is the twenty-second grandson of Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty has been extinct for more than 100 years when Liu Yu was born, the nobles of the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, and the north was controlled by the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the concept of the Han Dynasty among the people has long been diluted, and Yu Wei has long ceased to exist, even if the rebellion under the banner of the Han Dynasty clan will not be responded, and although Liu Yu is a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family, he has never enjoyed the treatment of the imperial heir, so for Liu Yu, the Han has no sense of identity.

Because he wanted to create his own era. The reason is that he did not want to continue such a dynasty, and he also wanted to replace such a dynasty, not to continue the title of Han, but to create a new dynasty himself.

First, Liu Yu is not a direct descendant of Liu Bang. He was a descendant of Liu Bang's younger brother, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan. Although Liu Jiao and Liu Bang are brothers, Liu Jiao's descendants are not heirs. Liu Yu had no legal basis to inherit the legal system of the Han Dynasty.

Even if Liu Yu wants to restore the legal system of his ancestor Liu Jiao, his country name should be "Chu" to be reasonable.

But what is very sad is that before Liu Yu became emperor, there was already a Chu State. That is, the "Huan Chu" regime established by Huan Xuan. This regime was destroyed by Liu Yu.

If Liu Yu takes "Chu" as his country name, it will be too unlucky. Who would take the name of a puppet regime, and a puppet regime that was destroyed by itself?

Second, at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, there were already two regimes with "Han" as the national name.

The first is the "Xiongnu-Han" regime established by the Huns.

The second is the "Cheng Han" regime established by the Bashu people.

Both regimes had a bad reputation, especially the Xiongnu during the destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty, using the banner of "Han" as the banner to burn, kill and loot in various parts of the north. The "Han" flag stinked and had a very bad impact on the hearts of the people in the north.

If Liu Yu takes "Han" as the country name. Not only will he not use this to buy people's hearts, but he will also be implicated by this national name.

Other words. Our current people think that the country name "Han" is so majestic and atmospheric. But the people at that time didn't think that the people at that time thought that the "Han" flag was very smelly, so the bastard played the "Han" flag.

Third, before Liu Yu's rise, the Northern Wei Dynasty had already been established. In order to disgust the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its ruler threw out a concept of "those who represent the Han Dynasty should be painted high".

To put it simply, the rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty recognized Cao Wei's legal system and claimed to be Cao Wei's second. This is tantamount to obliterating the Eastern Jin Dynasty, denying the legal system of the two Jin Dynasty, and declaring that the Jin Dynasty is a puppet regime.

At the same time, "the one who represents the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gaozhi" also implies that the Han Dynasty is already in the past. The Wei Dynasty is the ongoing tense.

If Liu Yu takes "Han" as the country name. Then he's asking for bad luck. Very unlucky. It's like the old king next door named his son "Wang Wu is my son", if you are also surnamed Wang, will you still name your son "Wang Wu"?

First, Liu Yu is a descendant of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, not a descendant of Liu Bang. Second, the Sixteen Kingdoms have Cheng Han and Xiongnu Han, especially the latter.

Although he is a descendant of the Han family, more than 160 years have passed since the founding of the country, and the Han has long had no appeal, and the people just want to be stable.

It's been a long time. When he founded the country, more than 160 years had passed since Shu Han, and for the people, Han had long lost its appeal.

Because the public was already very disappointed with Han at that time, he hoped that changing the country name would make the country better.

Because Liu Yu was not a descendant of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to create his own dynasty.

Because at that time, the political influence of the Han Dynasty was relatively small, as long as he changed a new country name, he could attract the attention of others, and it was also because of some folk prophecies that he would change the country name to Song.

At that time, the country had developed for a long time, and the country at that time was relatively prosperous, but it was not very prosperous at this time, so the name change was also in the hope of changing the fortunes of the country.

Because when Liu Yu was born, the Han Dynasty had been extinct for more than 100 years, and the majesty was no longer there, so the Song Dynasty was used.

Although Liu Yu was the clan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had been extinct for more than 100 years during the Liu Yu period, and the Han Dynasty had long faded in the hearts of the people. If it was in the name of the Han Dynasty, I was afraid that few people would respond to him, so he named the country "Song" in order to conform to the will of the people. Although Liu Yu was a descendant of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, unlike the children of other royal families, the homeless lived a hard life since he was a child, and he was only able to survive with the help of others, so he did not have much affection for the Han Dynasty.

According to the Book of Song, Liu Yu was the 22nd grandson of Liu Bang's younger brother Jiao Liu.

The meaning of this sentence is also very clear, that is, Liu Yu is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, not an heir. After the establishment of an autonomous dynasty in 420 AD, the state was called Song. Instead of inheriting Chinese titles.

Why is that? Although he lived in poverty, because of his meritorious service in the Anti-Japanese War and his hard work, he was named "Song Gong", so he used the word "Song" after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are two other reasons for this.

First of all, the Han Dynasty at that time had been extinct for a long time, had almost no political influence, and had long since faded in the hearts of the people. If the name of the Han Dynasty is still adopted, it is basically meaningless.

It is better to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and adopt a new national name, so as to conform to the will of the people and greatly benefit the country's development and prosperity. In contrast to the main school of Liu Bang in ancient China, which focused on the patriarchal system, Jiao Liu, the king of Chu Yuan, belonged to a small sect. In particular, the founding name of Emperor Guangwu's Mansion is Han, which proves this.

Although Liu Xiu, like Liu Yu, has been attacked by several generations, his status is humble, and he has even been reduced to an ordinary person. But the difference is that its bloodline is related to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor have the legal right to inherit. Therefore, after overthrowing Wang Mang and founding the country as the Han Dynasty, the officials and the people also recognized it.

On the other hand, Liu Yu apparently did not have a legal right to inherit. Another reason is that the Song Kingdom was originally a descendant of merchants. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Song people lived here.

Liu Yu, as a member of the Han Dynasty, was named "Song". In addition, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu Han was captured by Cao Wei and eventually destroyed the country. So in order to avoid the fate of Han's demise, the country was named "Song".

Secondly, if he still has the founding name of the Han Dynasty, it means that he inherited the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the fourth Han regime after the dynasty. It also means that the source of law he needs to inherit should come from the Eastern Han Dynasty or at least the Shu Han family. Then there was the Eastern Jin Dynasty where Liu Yu worked, and the former Western Jin Dynasty, all of which were pseudo-rebellious regimes.

It is also obviously inconsistent with the factual perception.

This is because the dynasty at that time has undergone earth-shaking changes, he proposed the Han Dynasty as the country name, but it was opposed by the people, and no one supported him, so the final country name was Song.

The appeal of the Han Dynasty was no longer enough, he wanted to reopen a kingdom, he was called the Duke of Song, so he chose to use the title of Song.

Because the Han Dynasty has long since receded in people's hearts, and the Han Dynasty has been extinct for more than 100 years, so such titles and names appear.

Liu Yu is a descendant of the Chu Yuan King of the Western Han Dynasty, why didn't he restore the Han Dynasty, but changed his name to Song?

Liu Yu won the throne by strength, and he did not need to be attached to the Han Dynasty to flatter himself. Even if he did not have the surname Liu, Liu Jinnu could establish the Liu Song dynasty.

<> more importantly, Liu Jinu was a descendant of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, and Liu Jiao was the half-brother of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han dynasty. In other words, Liu Jinu's ancestor did not have an emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he barely pulled one, so he could only be the emperor Liu Fang! "Liu Jinu said.

His family is not only far from the Han Dynasty and the Book of Han, but also inferior to Liu Zhong, the king of Wu who initiated the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, but is also Liu Zhong's maternal brother and the father of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better to be attached to Liu Bang, the clan of the Han Dynasty, or Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu of the Han Dynasty? There is no need for Liu Jinnu to be attached to a small family at all, right?

Therefore, there should be no doubt that Liu Jinnu was a royal family of the Han Dynasty. So why did Liu Jinnu decide to name his new dynasty the Song Dynasty instead of the Han Dynasty?

Liu Yu's ancestral home is Pengcheng. According to legend, he was the 22nd grandson of Liu Bao, the younger brother of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. From this point of view, he can be seen as a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty.

As for why he chose the Song State over the Han State, first of all, his ancestral hometown of Pengcheng belonged to the Song State during the Spring and Autumn Period, which means that he has not forgotten his roots. second, after all, they are only distant relatives, not Liu Bang's direct descendants, so they are embarrassed to use the Han Dynasty directly; Third, Liu Bei's Shu Han and Liu Yuan's Han and Zhao were not prosperous. Fourth, 200 years have passed since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the common people have no feelings and do not need political capital.

Fifth, Liu Yu's title before becoming emperor was King of Song, so the title of Song State is naturally also used in Song Kingdom, which is more attractive. Sixth, there is still a Northern Wei standing in the north, Cao Wei destroyed Liu Bei's Shu Han before, and it is unlucky to use Han as the country name.

At this time, it had been more than 200 years since the death of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty died in Cao Wei. The Liu clan no longer has much influence, so there is no need to mention the revival of the Han Dynasty. I'll interject a few words.

Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu Han Dynasty. It looks like there are modified words, west, east, Shu. In fact, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were two dynasties.

And Shu Han is a separatist regime.
