2 align=center <small>''3 Name meaning "the youngest one" Liu Bang was the third son of his<br>father, his oldest brother was called Bo</i> </small>(伯) <small>'', ie the "First one", and his<br>second older brother was called Zhong'' </small>(仲) <small><i>, ie the "Middle one"''

2 align=center <small>''4 Had his name changed into Bang, meaning "country", either when he<br>was made Prince of Han, or when he ascended the imperial throne''

2 align=center <small>''5 Ji was the courtesy name according to Sima Qian in his<br> Records Of The Grand Historian It may be that Liú Bāng, after he<br>changed his name into Bāng, kept his original name Ji as his courtesy<br>name However, some authors do not think that "Ji" was ever used as<br>the courtesy name of Liú Bāng''

2 align=center <small>''7 Meaning "supreme ancestor" Was apparently the original temple name<br>of Emperor Gao Taizu, in the most ancient Chinese tradition, going back<br>to the Shang Dynasty , was the temple name of the founder of a dynasty''
|
| |
2 align=center <small>''8 Sima Qian in his Records Of The Grand Historian referred to Emperor<br>Gao as "Gaozu", meaning "high ancestor", perhaps a combination of the<br>temple name and posthumous name of the emperor (doubts still remain<br>about why Sima Qian used "Gaozu" instead of "Taizu", and what the exact<br>nature of this name is) Following Sima Qian, later historians most often<br>used "Han Gaozu" (漢高祖), and this is the name under which he is still<br>known inside China Furthermore, it seems that in the Later Hàn Dynasty <br>"Gaozu" had replaced "Taizu" as the temple name of Emperor Gāo''
