At what age did Liu Bang start the uprising?

Liu bang began an uprising at the age of 48.

Liu Bang was born in Fengyi Li Zhongyang, Pei County on February 28th, 256 BC. He was the curator of Surabaya Pavilion at the end of Qin Dynasty. In 209 AD, Chen led the rebel army to establish the Zhang Chu regime.

At that time, Peixian county magistrate also wanted to respond to their uprising, so Xiao He and Cao Can persuaded the magistrate to call the exiles back, which could strengthen their own strength. The magistrate felt reasonable and asked Fan Kuai to invite Liu Bang.

But soon after Liu Bang came back, the county magistrate was afraid that Liu Bang was out of control, so he shut Liu Bang out of the city gate and arrested Xiao He and Cao Can.

When Liu Bei learned about it, he sent a letter into the city, encouraging the people in the city to kill the county magistrate. From then on, he began the road of uprising. Liu bang was 48 years old at that time.

Extended data:

In February 202 BC, Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty and became emperor, known as Emperor Gaozu in history. At the beginning of the world, there was a big banquet for ministers, and at the same time, people who made meritorious deeds were rewarded. Everyone is very happy.

Because the land in China before Qin Dynasty was a real enfeoffment system. The Qin dynasty was a county system. This caused a fault in etiquette. Therefore, Liu Bang ordered people to refer to the etiquette system of the Qin Dynasty and customize the rules and regulations of the Han Dynasty.

There are rules about how to maintain the majesty of the emperor. The emperor is the son of heaven, managing princes and people instead of heaven. The emperor is supreme, and everyone will bow down when they see him.

This involves Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, who was still alive when Liu Bang won the world. Since we want to maintain the majesty of the emperor, this Liu Taigong should bow to Liu Bang, but they are father and son, so where can a father bow to his son?

It is in line with the law of human relations for a son to visit his father, so Liu Bang thought of a way to make his father Liu Taigong the emperor's father. In this way, Liu Taigong's position will be noble, and if Liu Bang comes to visit his father again, his face will be decent.
