Prince Of The Han Dynasty
After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and proclaimed himself emperor of the Han dynasty, he followed the practice of Xiang Yu and enfeoffed many generals, noblemen, and imperial relatives as kings (), the same title borne by the sovereigns of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and by the rulers of the Warring States. Each king had his own semi-autonomous kingdom. This was a departure from the policy of the Qin dynasty, which divided China into commanderies governed by non-hereditary governors. The kings were divided into two groups: ''yìxìng wáng'', literally "kings of different surnames", and ''tóngxìng wáng'', literally "kings of the same surname", i.e., the imperial surname Liu. All of the initial kings were ''yixing wang'', with many ''tongxing wang'' being created on former territories of removed ''yixing wang''.

This was an attempt to consolidate Liu family rule over the parts of China that were not ruled directly from the capital under the commandery ( zh, s=郡县, t=郡縣, p=jùnxiàn) system.

Six years later, Peng was executed on a fabricated treason charge, and the kingdom was granted to Liu Hui (劉恢), a son of Liu Bang. Dong Commandery was then added to Liang's territory. In the seventh year of Empress Dowager Lü's reign, Hui was moved to Zhao, where he committed suicide soon after. The kingdom was granted to Lü Chan (呂產), a nephew of the empress dowager.
