Other Tian surnames began to flee to the west and north. Shortly after the end of the Qin dynasty, insurgents rose all over the country, and the family was moved by the wind. Eight people were king, and for a while, they all crossed Taiwan Province.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the high-impedance Liu Bang adopted Lou Jing's words and forcibly moved the hero of Kanto to Yangling (now northeast of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province) in Guanzhong.
