Let's talk about why a Hun revived the Han Dynasty in Liu Yuan. I think we should talk about the Western Jin regime first. The ruler of this regime is surnamed Sima. Yes, you are not mistaken. It is Sima Yi's Sima family.
The ambition of the Sima family is well known, so the Western Jin regime is unfair. At that time, the Eight Kings Rebellion was erupting in the Western Jin Dynasty. It can be said that the country has not been stable, and the children of Sima's family began to fight for power and profit. It was precisely because of the Eight Kings Rebellion that the subsequent Five Rebellions were caused.
And Liu Yuan is one of the five lakes, Huns.
Liu Yuan's revival of the Han Dynasty is actually very simple, and it is what the people want. Sima Yan is greedy and cruel, and the people are miserable. Of course he will think of the goodness of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Yuan directly established the Xiongnu Dynasty, it would be hell for ordinary people. Therefore, in order to better maintain stability, Liu Yuan chose to call himself Hanwang and revive the Han Dynasty.
This has played a very good role, that is, taking advantage of the people's dependence on the Han family and letting the people better support him.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Liu Yuan and Han really have nothing to do. If you have to be involved, Liu Yuan is a descendant of modu chanyu, who named himself Liu. Maybe this is the only thing that can be related to the Han Dynasty.
In a word, Liu Yuan is a Hun with a high degree of sinicization, so he knows what to do to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. So he used the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty.
Do you think Liu Yuan is clever?
