(This dynasty down to the time
of Ping tí is sometimes called the
Western Hán, in contradistinc- tion to that which arose soon- after.)
Liú Páng-for this was the name of the first emperor of the new dynasty-did not gain full possession of the empire till 202 B. C., which year is marked in the tables before us, as the 5th of his reign; by most writers, however, 202 is regarded as the 1st year of the Hán dynasty.
It should be remarked here that the sovereigns of this line intro- duced what is known as the kush háu or national title;' historians however have preferred to give the first place to the miáu háu, and to regard it as the proper name of each emperor; but it could be used only after the sovereign's demise: while the other, the kwoh háu was used during his lifetime, and by some of the emperors was often changed, and frequently more than once. In this concise view, we
venture to omit the introduction of all these kwoh háu.
