Liu Bei's national title has always been Han, not Shu as historians say. Although Shu Han is a local government, Cao Wei and Dongwu are also local governments, not state governments, but the territorial areas of each family are different, but this is only a quantitative difference, not an essential difference! Otherwise, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty cannot be regarded as the successors of the previous dynasties according to this logic!
It is always said that even if Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Bang, Shu Han cannot be considered as a continuation of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei has just started an uprising under the banner of Han descendants. His country is no longer inherited, but created by himself. According to this view, the Eastern Han Dynasty established by Liu Xiu cannot be regarded as a continuation of the Han Dynasty, because the Han Dynasty was "extinct" more than ten years before Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu's throne was not inherited from the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, but he did it himself. Similarly, the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot be regarded as the Jin Dynasty, because the throne of the first emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not inherited by the last emperor in the Western Jin Dynasty, so this view is obvious.
Personally, a dynasty, as long as it is the political power established by the descendants of its founders, and the subsequent dynasties are short or connected with the previous dynasty, the title remains unchanged, and it has the necessary elements of political power such as land, people, political power and judicial system, it should be considered as the continuation of the dynasty initiated by its founders! According to this logic, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are the successors of the previous dynasties! Whether the founder of the successor dynasty is the legal heir of the last ruler of the previous dynasty is not a key core issue!
Who owned China society in the past? Home world! Why does everyone have a son? Just because you want to continue your bloodline! Whether it is the people's private property, brand name or imperial power country, it is the same! Liu Bei was a courtier in the Eastern Han Dynasty before he proclaimed himself emperor. When the Eastern Han Dynasty perished, he proclaimed himself emperor to continue the Han Dynasty! A person with a different surname has nothing to do with the original owner! Cao Pi's Wei kingdom, its pedigree and font size have changed. Is it related to the Han Dynasty?
It is precisely because it is a family society that Liu Xiu can be qualified to rebuild the Han Dynasty, and whether Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Bang becomes very important! Many people have also made a fuss about this matter, trying to prove that Liu Bei is not a descendant of the Han family! But even Liu Bei's sworn enemy at that time had to admit Liu Bei's imperial clan qualification, and now people are not qualified to deny it! So, Judy overthrew his nephew, and everyone thought it was still the Ming Dynasty.
Remarks: Liu Yu is a descendant of Liu Bang's brother, and his history is also very interesting. Cao Wei destroyed Han, Sima Shi destroyed Wei, and finally Liu destroyed Jin, and what goes around comes around! Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of Song did not restore the title to Korea!
