It began when the ruler of Wei, Cao Cao, was defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan at the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan declared themselves emperor of Shu and Wu respectively.

Tao Qian received the support of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, but even then it seemed as if Cao Cao's superior forces would overrun Xu Province entirely.

Tao Qian died in the same year, leaving his province to Liu Bei.

Lü Bu fled to Xu Province and was received by Liu Bei, and an uneasy alliance began between the two.

In 197, Yuan Shu, who was at odds with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei, felt assured of victory with his subordinate's conquests, and thus declared himself emperor of the Cheng Dynasty.

Sun Ce complied, but first convinced Cao Cao to form a coalition against Yuan Shu, of which Liu Bei and Lü Bu were members.

Afterwards, Lü Bu betrayed Liu Bei and seized Xu Province, forming an alliance with Yuan Shu's remnant forces.

Liu Bei, together with his followers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, fled to Cao Cao, who accepted him.

Soon, preparations were made for an attack on Lü Bu, and the combined forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei invaded Xu Province.

He collaborated with Liu Bei on this effort, but Cao Cao soon found out about the plot and had Dong Cheng and his conspirators executed, with only Liu Bei surviving and fleeing to join Yuan Shao in the north.

The Liu Song Dynasty (; Wade-Giles: Liu Sung Ch ' ao ), also known as Former Song Dynasty ( 前宋 ) ( 420-479 CE ), was first of the four Southern Dynasties in China, succeeding the Eastern Jin Dynasty and followed by the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Guan Yu ( Wade-Giles spelling: Kuan Yu ) ( died 219 ) was a general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China.

When someone reported that to Liu Bei, Liu angrily threw a handaxe and said, " Zilong ( Zhao Yun's style name ; Tzu-lung in Wade-Giles spelling ) would never desert me ".

Liu Zongyuan (; Wade-Giles: Liu Tsung-yuan ) ( 773 – 819 ), courtesy name Zihou ( 子厚 ; Wade-Giles: Tzu-hou ), was a Chinese writer who lived in Chang ' an during the Tang Dynasty.

However, the ancient record of Liu Xin's ' Jia Liang Hu ' standard is still preserved in Beijing, which Joseph Needham quotes below with modern references for archaic units ( Wade-Giles spelling ):

Recently, Bak Mei is better known in the West as " Pai Mei " ( the Wade-Giles romanization of his name in Mandarin ), played by Gordon Liu in the Hollywood film Kill Bill: Volume 2 ( 2004 ).

* Alternative spelling of Liu, common Chinese surname

Due to the economic force of China and its growing wealth, there has been a recent influx of Chinese models scoring modeling successes in the fashion industry, including Sui He, Fei Fei Sun, Liu Wen, Ming Xi und Shu Pei Qin as the most-in-demand.

In China, Pei Xiu ( 224 – 271 ) identified " measuring right angles and acute angles " as the fifth of his six principles for accurate map-making, necessary to accurately establish distances ; while Liu Hui ( c. 263 ) gives a version of the calculation above, for measuring perpendicular distances to inaccessible places.

In Chapter 18, where he still served under Lü Bu, Zhang Liao was sent with a force to attack Liu Bei at Xiaopei ( 小沛, present day Pei County, Jiangsu ).

However, Pei Songzhi's commentary, based on the Dianlue ( 典略 ), said that Liu Bei was a descendant of the Marquis of Linyi ( 臨邑侯 ).

Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to station his army in nearby Xiaopei ( present day Pei County, Jiangsu ) and gave him 4, 000 more troops, in addition to 1, 000 or so troops and some Wuhuan cavalry already under his command.

However, Liu Bang's family, including Lü Zhi and her children, remained in Pei County, which was a territory of Xiang Yu's kingdom of Western Chu.

In 196, Lü Bu turned against Liu Bei and seized the city of Xiapi, effectively taking over governorship of Xu Province, forcing Liu Bei to move to the nearby town of Xiaopei ( 小沛 ; present-day Pei County, Anhui ).

In the early stage of his rise to prominence, Liu Bang was addressed as " Duke of Pei ", with the " Pei " referring to his hometown of Pei County.

Liu Bang was born in a peasant family in Zhongyang Village, Feng Town, Pei County, Sishui Commandery ( in present-day Feng County, Jiangsu ).

Liu Bang and his followers sought refuge on Mount Mangdang near Pei County and lived in an outlaw stronghold there.

The magistrate of Pei County considered rebelling as well, so at the advice of Xiao He and Cao Shen, he sent Fan Kuai ( Liu Bang's relative ) to invite Liu Bang and his followers back to Pei to support him.

Liu Bang was then addressed as " Duke of Pei " ( 沛公 ) or " Lord Pei " by his followers.

The Song of the Great Wind was a song composed by Liu Bang in 195 BC when he visited his hometown of Pei County after suppressing Ying Bu's rebellion.

What is also known is that during Chu – Han Contention, when Liu Bang fought a five-year war with Xiang Yu for supremacy over the Chinese world, his mother, his sister, and he did not initially follow his father to the Principality of Han ( modern Sichuan, Chongqing, and southern Shaanxi ); rather, they stayed in his father's home territory, perhaps in his home town of Pei ( 沛縣, in modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu ) deep in Xiang's Principality of Western Chu, presumably with his grandfather Liu Zhijia.
