Liu Xiu is the founding emperor, but he will continue to use "Han" as the title and is willing to become the successor emperor. Because Liu Xiu is a descendant of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, and only because her generation has lived a poor life after the formation of the official rank, he still has his own special feelings for the Han Dynasty and insists that he is a descendant of Liu Bang. Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he still used Han as his country name. In the short new dynasty, the vast majority of ordinary people did not completely get rid of the rule of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the corrupt administration in the middle and late period of New China also inspired people's nostalgia for the Western Han Dynasty. According to the above two elements, most of the rebellions that broke out in the later period of New China were based on the slogan of "scolding Han and helping Han", and so was Liu Xiu who joined the rebellion in 22 AD.

An outlaw hero, a powerful man, later established the Xuanhan Party in the 23rd year of Gong, and the emperor was Liu Xuan, a prince of the Han Dynasty. It can also be seen from the establishment of political parties in Xuanhan period that helping Han was an inevitable trend at that time. As the old saying goes, Liu Xiu, who added outlaws, was suspected by Liu Xuan because of his great military fame, so he was sent to Henan after the new dynasty was pacified. Therefore, in fact, Liu Xuan ordered Liu Xuan to leave Hebei in order to limit Liu Xiu's development trend through the doping concentration camp there. However, when Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, he successfully took these camps for himself. After twenty-five years of public service, Liu Xiu also successfully announced his accession to the throne in Shenzhen, an old revolutionary base area.

After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he still chose "Han" as his country name. Why did he do this is to convey the confidence of "revitalizing the Han Dynasty" to people all over the world. At that time, the world was still in a state of disintegration, and the people still regarded the Han family as conquerors. Therefore, the title of "Han" will be more conducive to buying people's hearts. In other words, due to the title of "Han", the Han Dynasty is generally regarded as a continuous political party in the Han Dynasty.
