When Liu Bang proclaimed himself king, he denied his father. Why did he make his father kneel and kowtow?
After Liu Bang became king, he couldn't accept his peasant father even more, thinking that his identity and knowledge could no longer be a father. Therefore, at that time, Liu Bang did not make his father a generation of parents after giving all his relatives and friends an official title. This is also a way to get back at my father for humiliating himself many times when he was young. In addition, Liu Bang is now the emperor and the biggest ruler of the imperial court. How can he accept a farmer's father? Liu bang thinks this is his shame.
Liu Bang's father favored Liu Bang's other brothers when he was young, but he didn't love Liu Bang. He often verbally humiliated and looked down on Liu Bang, which caused Liu Bang to complain about his father. Therefore, Liu Bang's becoming a queen in the upper position did not repay his kindness in raising, but retaliated against his repeated humiliation before. In the final analysis, this is the result of Liu Bang's father himself. If Liu Bang and his brother had been treated equally, the present situation would not have been caused.
Because Liu Bang complained about his father, he disowned his father when he became the superior king. Instead, I asked my father to kneel down, that is, to retaliate against what my father had done to himself before. However, according to China's traditional concept, it is unfilial to deny his father and let him kneel down to himself. This is an act of unfilial. This also makes this behavior after Liu Bang's death more commented by the world.
