 * The Chimei were agrarian rebels.
 * Liu Penzi was peacefully removed from the throne.
 * Liu Penzi was descended from Liu Zhang.

Background Information

Evidence is hard to find
It's becoming rather challenging for me to find evidence relating to the events of the life of Liu Penzi (劉盆子). So far, the library books I've checked from the library don't mention him at all. I don't know Chinese, and I don't live in China. I live in America.

Can someone direct me to reliable, English language sources of information about Liu Penzi so that I can verify the claims in this article?--Mumia-w-18 19:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Is there not an English book that describes in detail the events in Liu Penzi's life? [[Image:Sad-tpvgames.gif]] -- Mumia-w-18 16:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
