Wei: Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty once granted Cao Cao the title of "Wei Gong" and "Wei King". After Cao Pi succeeded the Han Dynasty, he was called "Wei". With the royal surname Cao, it was also called "Cao Wei" in history. Cao Cao's posthumous title was Emperor Wu of Wei.

Shu (Han): Liu Bei took Sichuan as his area of ??activity, and Shu refers to Sichuan. In 221 AD, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and his country was named Han. Historically, it was called "Shu" or "Shu Han", also known as "Ji Han".

Wu: Sun Quan was active in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In history, he founded the Kingdom of Wu. Cao Wei once named Sun Quan "King of Wu", so he was called "Sun Wu" in history; because of his status in the east, he was also called "Sun Quan". Soochow".

Jin: Sima Zhao forced Wei Emperor to make him "Jin Gong", and after destroying Shu, he was promoted to Jin King. Later, his son Sima Yan inherited his title, forced Emperor Wei to abdicate, and proclaimed himself emperor, with the country named "Jin".

Sui: Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was once named "Sui Guogong" by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty inherited this title and called it "Sui Chao". He thought that the meaning of Suiyouweng was changed to "Sui" for fear of being ominous.

Tang: Li Hu, the grandfather of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, assisted Zhou Dynasty with meritorious services and was posthumously named "Tang Guogong", and the title was passed to Li Yuan. After Taiyuan raised troops, Li Yuan was called "King of Tang" and later deposed Yang You and established the Tang Dynasty.

Liao: Liao was originally called "Khitan", and Khitan was the name of the clan. It was changed to "Liao" because they lived in the upper reaches of the Liao River.

Song Dynasty: After Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he ordered Zhao Kuangyin to be the military governor of Guide, and the German army was stationed in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan). Zhao Kuangyin was the military envoy to Songzhou. Therefore, after the Chenqiao mutiny, he made his fortune in Songzhou, and his country was named "Song".

Xixia: Tuoba Sigong occupied Xiazhou (today's Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province). When the country was founded, it was named after Xiazhou and was called "Daxia". Because it was in the west, people in the Song Dynasty called it "Xi Xia".

Jin: The city of Jin was located in Huining (south of Acheng in present-day Heilongjiang Province) on the capital city of Jin. It was located in Yanchuhu River (today's Ashe River). It is said that its aquatic products produced gold. In the Jurchen language, "jin" means "Jianchuhu".

Yuan: According to the "History of the Yuan", the naming of "Yuan" was decided by Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. It is taken from the "Yuan" in the sentence "Da Zai Qian Yuan" in the "Book of Changes", which means "big" and "first". But some people think it is related to Mongolian customs and totems, and some think it is related to Buddhism.

Ming Dynasty: Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the rebels in the late Yuan Dynasty. He succeeded Guo Zixing and developed it. Guo Zixing belonged to the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect declared that "darkness is about to pass and light is about to come" to encourage the people to oppose the dark rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, it is also called "Light Sect". The leader of the White Lotus Sect, Han Shantong, is called "King Ming" (his son Han Lin'er is called "King Ming"), which reflects the tenets of its teachings. Zhu Yuanzhang not only once believed in the White Lotus Sect, but also admitted that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect's rebel army (he was once the deputy marshal of the left of King Xiaoming). After Zhu Yuanzhang took power, the country was called "Ming".

Qing: The Manchus are a branch of the Jurchen tribe. The Jurchen tribe established the Jin Kingdom during the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen forces regained strength and rebuilt the Jin Kingdom (Later Jin Dynasty). In order to expand outward, the Later Jin Dynasty severed its vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty changed "Jurchen" to "Manzhou" and "Jin" to "Qing". During the Song Dynasty, the Jurchens were under the control of the Khitan people. The word "Liao" on his behalf meant "iron" in the Khitan language, so they were named "Jin", which meant they were stronger and more powerful than iron and could overwhelm "Liao". Historians have different opinions on the reason why "Jin" was changed to "Qing". Some people think that Huang Taiji wanted to avoid causing sharp conflicts.
