Historical Records Xiao Xiangguo's Family, Historical Records Gaozu's Biography, Hanshu Gaozu's Biography and Hanshu Xiao He's Biography are all not recorded. It is estimated that they were fabricated by TV dramas. Liu Bang, surnamed Liu, is named Ji because he is ranked according to "Uncle Ji". If calculated in this way, Liu Bang should be the fourth, but Liu Bang has a younger brother Liu Jiao, and Liu Bang should be called Liu Shu. The word "Ji" does not necessarily refer to the fourth, but also refers to the youngest brother in the family. It is good to understand this.
Liu Bang's father Liu Tuan (Liu Taigong) has four sons, Bo, Zhong, Bang and Jiao. Liu Bang is the third of the four brothers, so the divination of the state means that the water and land are honest and United with his father Liu Tuan, whose father Liu Tuan hopes that his son can sail with the wind, and God will help him with a breeze, so he will be prosperous at will without any effort.
I found the second paragraph and analyzed it from the perspective of Five Elements and Zhouyi. I wonder if it is credible. Let's take it as an understanding, but the history books didn't say that it was named by Xiao He.
The History of Emperor Gaozu in Han Dynasty: The ancient note of Emperor Gaozu:
Xun Yue said: "The word season is taboo. The word of the state is called the country. " Zhang Yan said: "There is no' high' in ritual and funeral rites, and they think that they are the emperor with the highest merit and the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, so they are specially named Yan." Shi Gu said: "The word" state "refers to the country, and the ministers avoid it and replace it with each other."
Sima Zhen's research on the word season in Historical Records of the Emperor Gaozu:
Press "Famous country, word season" in Hanshu, which is a single cloud word, but also suspicious. Press: The eldest brother of Emperor Gaozu is named Bo, and the second name is Zhong. If there is no alias, the season is also a name. Therefore, Xiang Daiyun said: "In the small word season, the emperor changed his name to the state, but later, because of the taboo of the state, Ji Bu still called his surname."
