Rather than saying that Liu Bei's identity as a "Han Chamber Patriarch" is a climbing dragon and attaching a phoenix, it is better to say that Liu Biao's identity as a "Han Chamber Patriarch" is a heavenly gong and beauty.
Liu Biao is the identity of the Han dynasty's clan relative, although it is not mentioned in Chen Shou's and Pei Song's notes "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but now Liu Biao's status as a Han dynasty relative is more pure blood than Liu Bei's, after all, there are more texts in the existing historical materials that can prove that Liu Biao is a relative of the Han Dynasty, such as the Southern Dynasty Song historian Fan Ye's compilation of the "Book of Later Han", "Liu ZhenNanbei", and cao Cao's "Let county Ben Ming Zhi Ling" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
First, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty is a historical book that records the events of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 195. Volume 74 Yuan Shao Liu Biao Lie Biography Sixty-fourth record: Liu Biao character Jing Sheng, Shanyang Gaoping people, Lu Gong Wang hou also. Liu Biao was a descendant of King Lu Gong. King Lu Gong , also known as Liu Yu of the Western Han Dynasty , was the fourth son of Liu Qi , emperor of the Han Dynasty , and the half-brother of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were all descendants of King Ding of Changsha. King Ding of Changsha, also known as Liu Fa of the Western Han Dynasty, was the sixth son of Emperor Jing of Han and the half-brother of Emperor Wu of Han. Therefore, Liu Biao and the Eastern Han imperial family were both descendants of the Han Jing Emperor and were "pure-blooded" Han clan relatives. Therefore, Fan Ye affirmed that Liu Biao was a descendant of Liu Yu, the King of Lugong in the Western Han Dynasty.
Then, "Liu Zhennan Monument".
The "Liu ZhenNan Stele" is a stone stele erected by the military and people of Jingzhou after Liu Biao's death from illness to record Liu Biao's exploits in building a tomb site for him. "Liu Zhennan Stele" carving: Holy Pilgrim Qin Liang, Jie Gui Zhi Tu, Bai Yang Wu Wei, Yu Shi Zhong Zhong Zhong Xuan that is, Bai Zhen Nan General, Tin advocates the big car, the order praise, called the uncle.
Uncle, when used as a word, there are two types of interpretations in the Cihai: one is the ancient Tianzi's title for princes with the same surname. "Rituals and Rituals": A large country with the same surname is called an uncle, and its different surname is called an uncle; the other type is a title. When making a title, there are two cases: one is the kinship predicate: the father's brother is called "uncle", and the father's brother is called. "Li Ji Zengzi Asks": Those who have sacrificed to see their uncles, uncles, and then crowned; the other is a broad term: to refer to people who are older than their fathers and to honor their fathers such as classmates (things) or friends (male and female lovers). "Call him uncle", which literally means "call him uncle".
From the front and back of the inscription, it can be seen that Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, honored Liu Biao as his uncle.
Liu Xie's call of Liu Biao as his uncle has two meanings: the first layer is ostensibly a title for princes with the same surname. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao lived in Jingzhou Mu and was also a prince of the party; the second layer, in essence, raised Liu Biao to the level of Liu Hong's brother the Han Ling Emperor. Liu Biao is the uncle of Tianzi, that is, Liu Huangbo, who is more honorable than Liu Bei, who is known as "Uncle Liu Huang". For this reason, among the people, especially the military and civilians of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was the uncle of Emperor Xian of Han and the brother of Emperor Ling of Han, but it was not clear which descendant of the princes surnamed Liu.
Finally, "Let the Prefectural Ben Ming Zhi Order".
"Let the County Ben Ming Zhi Ling" is an autobiographical article by Cao Cao expressing his thoughts and experiences to the outside world. The "Order of the Ming Dynasty of The County" writes: Liu Biao thought that he was a patriarch, harbored treacherous hearts, and at first glance, he looked at the affairs of the world, and according to the state, he was alone and fixed, and the world was peaceful. In this text, although Cao Cao recognized Liu Biao as a clan member, he had the definite word "self-righteousness". "Self-righteousness" also has two meanings: one is that there is no external force, completely dependent on the individual, affirmation, that is, one's own inner judgment or thinking, which is equivalent to what it is; the other is that there is an external force, mixed with other factors, questioning, that is, one misjudging oneself and treating something as something else, which is equivalent to not being originally. Liu Biao, the identity of the han family's ancestors, was originally inherited by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, or the imperial seal of Liu Xie, the later Emperor of Han Xian, giving people a doubtful imagination space, which led to the problem of "pure blood" of the imperial family. Therefore, Cao Cao was vague that Liu Biao was a descendant of the princes surnamed Liu, that is, he did not affirm or deny, and at the same time incidentally accused Liu Biao of "thinking that he was a clan" and was full of disdain for Liu Biao's dirty behavior of "attaching himself to the imperial family".
Before the advent of the Book of Later Han, Liu Biao's identity as a Han dynasty relative was questionable: both the history books did not record that Liu Biao was a han dynasty relative, and there were also historical materials that could prove that he was a han family relative. Liu Biao's identity was doubtful, and he suddenly left Liu Biao, a famous tyrant in the chaotic world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a mystery of nearly two thousand years.
Author's Note: Yiyi refers to the supergroup. Liu Biao, as a prince of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, although his status as a relative of the Han Dynasty has been recorded differently in different history books, it cannot be denied at any time that he is the charm of a generation of tyrants. As the saying goes: partial belief is dark.
