Liu Bang really never thought about becoming emperor. Because Liu Bang was born a commoner, his father, mother and himself did not even have names back then. How do the history books introduce Liu Bang's parents? His father is called Taigong, and his mother is called Liu Yu. What does Taigong mean? Uncle, what do you mean? Aunt, my father is called Uncle Liu, and my mother is called Aunt Liu. It can be seen that he is an unknown person. What does it mean to explain Liu Bang? Ji, the small character, changed his name to Bang after he ascended the throne. His original nickname was Liu Ji. Ji, the four-year-old, changed his name to Liu Bang after he ascended the throne and became emperor. It can be seen that before becoming emperor, he had no name, only a nickname was Liu Ji. This Liu Ji is not a name, what is Ji? Season is the ranking of the ancients. The ancient brothers were called Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji. Liu Bang's eldest brother was called Liu Bo, and his second brother was called Liu Zhong. I haven't heard of the third brother. It's not in the book. The one named Uncle Liu didn't find it. His own name was Liu Ji, too. That is to say, his brothers are named Liu Da, Liu Er, Liu San, and Liu Si, so Liu Ji is translated into modern Chinese as Liu Xiao, who has no name and is a commoner.
Liu Bang is a person of such a background. When he was a child, his father, even Uncle Liu, didn’t treat him as a son. He called him a scoundrel all the time and was not as good at work as his brother Liu Zhong. He knows how to make money and buy property, so he is very indulgent in his education. This person has not studied since he was a child. What would he do if he does not study? He was idle, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Even Sima Qian, the Taishi of this dynasty, who was the Grand Historian of the Han Dynasty and the country's historian, used four words in his biography for him and the founding emperor of this dynasty: "good wine and sex, like" What? He likes wine, meat, and women. He is such a person.
Liu Bang's background makes it easier for us to understand his leadership skills, because if we try our luck, we will never let him, a person with no name, no identity, and no status, encounter him. So what does he rely on? He relies on idleness, eating, drinking and gambling. Apparently not. Whether we read history or listen to other people's speeches, the most important thing is the inevitability beyond words and the inevitability beyond words. Liu Bang's abilities are difficult to describe in words, but these are indeed descriptions of the phenomena at that time. Thinking about the people around him, they like drinking and sex, they don't know how to work, and they are idle. Liu Bang is very similar to them, but Liu Bang can stand up at critical moments, can bear all the consequences, and can listen to everyone's words.
