Shu Han family trees
# Shu Han family trees

This article contains the family trees of members of the Liu clan, who ruled the state of Shu Han (221-263) in the Three Kingdoms period (220-280) in China. They were related to the House of Liu, the imperial clan of the Han dynasty.

## Liu Bei's ancestors

Liu Bei's biography in the Sanguozhi stated that Liu Bei was a descendant of Liu Sheng (Prince of Zhongshan), who was a son of Emperor Jing. Liu Sheng's son was Liu Zhen.

However, the Dianlue claimed that Liu Bei descended from the Marquis of Linyi. Based on historical records in the Han Shu and the Houhanshu, there were two Marquis of Linyi lineages which could be traced to Emperor Jing's sons, hence there were another two lines from which Liu Bei could have possibly descended.

The central line in the family tree below shows the Liu Sheng lineage, while the other two show the Marquis of Linyi lineages.
