The founding of the Cheng-Han 成漢 empire ("Completed Han"; named after the Shu-Han 蜀漢 empire in Sichuan and the great Han Dynasty) began with an uprising by several Non-Chinese tribes and wandering poor against the local government in the area of modern Sichuan in 301. The uprising against the Jin 晉 government was first led by Li Te 李特 - an ethnic Di 氐 from a people relative to the Tibetians -, then by his son Li Liu 李流. Liu's brother Li Xiong 李雄 proclaimed himself King of Chengdu 成都王 in 304. After a few decades of restless political fights at the top of government, Emperor Li Shi 李勢 had to surrender to the Jin armies in 347. In contrast to the court affairs, the political and economical situation of the people seemed to be quite peaceful. See also titles of rulers. Note: The rulers of the sideline dynasties are usually not called with their posthumous dynastic titles but with their personal names as they are not accepted as righteous rulers by official historiographies.
