How did Liu Bei calculate that he was a generation older than Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty? Isn't there no blood relationship between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty?

First of all, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty are related by blood. Of course, Liu Bei is a generation older than Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, which is a romantic novel. There is no record of Liu Bei's seniority in the official history, which is made up of novels. Embarrassed, the novel also made up an own goal. According to the ancestral home compiled by The Romance of the Three Kingdoms for Liu Bei, Liu Bei is five generations younger than Emperor Han Xian and is not an uncle at all.

Let's talk about the blood relationship between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu, the founder of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is a distant relative of the Western Han Dynasty who took root in Hong Miao. Although the family background has declined, the pedigree is clearly recorded. Is this from the later Han Dynasty? It is clearly recorded in the discipline of Emperor Guangwu.

Guangwudi, grandfather, shy, uncle Wen. Born in Cai Yang, Nanyang, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu IX. He comes from Jingdi and was born in Changsha. When the Tomb Festival happened, I bought it. It gave birth to the prefect of Yulin, the giant deer came back, it gave birth to Nantang, and Qin gave birth to Guangwu.

Liu Xiu is the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. According to the order of succession from generation to generation, they are: the first generation of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang-the second generation of Han Heng-the third generation of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty-the fourth generation of Changsha-the fifth generation of our envoy in Fuling-the sixth generation of Yu Ling's satrap Liu Wai-the seventh generation of Julu Liu Hui-the eighth generation of Nan 'an county magistrate Liu Qin-the ninth generation of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty belong to the descendants of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Heng and Han Jingdi Liu Qi respectively. However, the Western Han Dynasty was a branch of Liu Che after Liu Qi, while the Eastern Han Dynasty was a branch of Changsha, Wang Ding and Liu Fa. How can there be no blood relationship?

Liu Bei's direct ancestor is Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, and the son of Liu Qi, the emperor of Han Jing. Therefore, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu, and Liu Qi, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu, are the common ancestors of Shu Han established by Liu Bei. Therefore, although Liu Bei and Xian Di, the direct descendant of the Eastern Han Dynasty, are far apart, they are related by blood.

Because they are related by blood and have a common ancestor, they can be divided into generations. If Liu Bei is really a generation older than Emperor Han Xian, then he is an "uncle". But the question is, according to the official history of the reflection? Shu Shu? "Ancestral" records only say that Liu Bei is the descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Aimee, without saying which generation:

My late master's surname is Liu and his first name is Liu Bei. He was born in Zhuoxian, and he is also the son of Jing He, Zhongshan. Sheng Zizhen, who lived for six years, was appointed as Hou Ting in Lucheng, Zhuoxian County, because of family dereliction of duty. Zu Xiong, Zu Hong, from Shishi Prefecture. Xiongju Xiaolian, official to Fan Ling, East County.

This passage means that Liu Bei's ancestor is Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Liu Bei's grandfather's name is Xiong Liu and his father's name is Ricardo. However, how many generations have passed between Serina Liu and ricas, and nothing has been said.

In other words, from the official point of view, you can say that Liu Bei is a Han clan, but you can't say that he is an uncle, because you can't figure out his seniority.

However, in order to make Liu Bei's status as a "Han clan" more convincing, romance novels fabricated a seemingly complete lineage table for him, filling the gap between Serina Liu and Likas. It is also said that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty read this "complete record" genealogy, calculated the seniority, and said that Liu Bei was a generation older than him, so he recognized his uncle. However, this "complete" genealogy came out and made a joke. The genealogy in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms goes like this:

Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons. The seventh son is Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Born in Lucheng Hou Tingliu Town. Zhensheng Peihou Liu Ang. An Zhangsheng and Hou Liuliu. Lusheng Yishui Hou Liulian. Love to be born. Yingsheng anguo left Hou Jian. Jiansheng Guangling stays in Hou Ai. Love raw rubber Hou Liu Xian. Mr. Liu Shu, Zu Yihou. Shuyi. Yuan Ze Liu Hou finished his life. Will give birth to Ying Chuan Hou Liuda. Feng has no doubt about Liu. I don't doubt that I was born in Jichuan Hou Liuhui. Fan Ling and Liu Xiong of Huishengdong County. Xiongsheng ricas. Hongzhi is not official. Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong.

Well, Liu Qi-Liu Sheng-Serina Liu-Liu Ang-Liu Lu-Lian Liu-Liu Ying-Liu Jian-Liu Ai-Liu Xian-Liu Shu-Liu Yi-Liu Bi-Liu Da-Liu Bu-Liu Hui-Liu Xiong-Li Ka Si-Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the nineteenth grandson of Liu Qi, Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

However, what about Xian Di? Starting from Liu Xiu, it is like this: Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu-Ming Di Liu Zhuang-Zhang Di Liu Wei-Hejian Xiao King Liu Kai-Jie Du Hou Ting Liu Shu-Liu Chang-Han Lingdi Liu Hong-Han Xiandi Liu Xie. Therefore, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty is the eighth grandson of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Just now I said that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was the grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang IX and Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi VII. Therefore, Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, is the14th grandson of Liu Qi, the Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty!

You see, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty is five generations older than Liu Bei! This is a typical dog that cannot draw a tiger. In order to describe Liu Bei as an "uncle", I compiled a genealogy for him, and the result was a junior ... No way, the novels were written by folk literati, fearing that they didn't know much about history, let alone the generation of Emperor Han Xian, so they were embarrassed. Therefore, don't look at how high the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is in the history of literature. After all, novels are novels, not history.
