There is a city called "Han Zhong" in China, over 2200 years ago an Emperor Liu Bang start from this place as a mayor, he defeated another famous Hero Xiang Yu, and then take control the most part of China today.
After that Liu Bang Called himself "Han Zhong Wang" which means king of Han Zhong, and start the Han Dynasty (BC 202- AD 220).
