Liu Hong (Jin Dynasty)
Liu Hong (236–306), courtesy name Heji or Shuhe, was a military general and politician of the Jin dynasty (266–420). He was most known for his role as Inspector of Jingzhou between 303 and 306. After quelling the revolt of Zhang Chang, Liu Hong ushered Jingzhou into a brief period of peace and stability, making it a haven for refugees fleeing the civil war and rebellions happening throughout most of China. Liu Hong was a venerated figure among the people, and traditional historians praised him as a model governor. After his death, his successors failed to match his standard of governance, leading to uprisings that would affect southern China for more than a decade. Early life and career Liu Hong was from Pei State, Xiang Commandery (相郡), which is around present-day Suixi County, Anhui. His grandfather was Liu Fu, an official under the late Han dynasty warlord Cao Cao and his father was Liu Jing, a minister in the Cao Wei dynasty. During his youth, Liu Hong resid ...

Its territory was located in present-day northern Anhui and northwestern Jiangsu, as well as part of Shandong and Henan.

He reigned from 266 to 290, and after conquering the state of Eastern Wu in 280, was the emperor of a reunified China.
