Liu Taigong

During the Han-Chu War, Liu Taigong was captured by Chu troops during the Battle of Pengcheng.

Upon learning the reason behind his father's actions, Liu Bang honored Taigong with the title Taishang Huang on 4 July 201 BCE,[3] a year after Liu Bang declared himself emperor in February 202 BCE.

The title nominally elevated Liu's status in court protocol as to remain consistent with Confucian norms of filial piety.

Taigong died at a palace in the city of Yueyang in c.June 197 BC.

On 9 August 197 BC,[4] he was entombed in present-day Lintong District, Xi'an.
