Liehou: The highest rank of the former Qin army, formerly known as Chehou, was later changed to Liehou, also known as Tonghou, which avoided the taboo of Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liehou has a food city (that is, a fief). According to the size of the food city, Liehou is divided into county Hou, township Hou and pavilion Hou.

County marquis: The marquis with the highest title, such as Yuan Shao, was named Lord Ye. People who eat in a city with more than10,000 households are often called Wan Huhou.

Township Hou: The township is the lower administrative unit of the county. For example, Zhang Fei was named Hou of Xixiang.

Tinghou: The pavilion is an administrative unit at the township level, and Liu Bang once served as the director of the pavilion. Hou Ting is based on one or several pavilions. For example, Guan Yu is the pavilion of Hanshou (Hanshou is the name of the pavilion).

Title. During the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, those who made meritorious deeds in the 20th rank were first named as the Hou of Chu, and later changed to the Hou of Tong to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Later it was changed to Hou.

For example, in 22 1 year, Liu Bei officially proclaimed himself emperor, and Liu Bei, who had already become emperor, could be knighted "rightfully". But it is a pity that Guan Yu has been defeated in Maicheng and died for about a year. If Guan Yu had not died at that time, Liu Bei would undoubtedly be the first to take Guan Yu from Houting to Hou Xiang or Hou Xian.

After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Fei was named Hou of Xixiang. After Liu Chan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhuge Liang was named Hou of Wuxiang. Although Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang's marquis are taller than Guan Yu, Guan Yu can be said to be the second general of Liu Beifeng.

The first one is Liu Bei himself. In A.D. 196, Cao Cao named Liu Bei as the general of Town East and appointed him as Yicheng Hou Ting. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were named "Hou Ting".
