註釋

Liu Bang can be regarded as a master among emperors. For Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were also emperors, held him in high esteem. Liu Bang grew up in the marketplace. He was neither proficient in writing as a literati nor good at fighting as a warrior. However, under his leadership, he gradually defeated many prominent figures, overthrew Xiang Yu, and brought peace to the whole country. Later, through the hands of others, he got rid of Han Xin, eliminating potential threats. It was he who founded the great Han Empire that lasted for four hundred years. Both Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, who had planned and conquered the country, gave him extremely high praise. Even Mao Zedong commented that "Liu Bang was a brilliant statesman" and "a very formidable one among the feudal emperors".
