After the death of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne. Huo Guang married her 5-year-old granddaughter to Liu Fuling in order to cling to power. At that time, Liu Fuling was only 12 years old, but he died at the age of 20. The hapless Shangguan Queen 15 became a widow, and she became the Empress Dowager at a young age. So four ministers decided to let Liu He be the emperor. This Liu He was originally a sovereign, but he was dissolute and had no way, eating, drinking and having fun all day. After only 27 days in office, he was dismissed.
Later, four ministers decided to let the grandson of the exiled folk prince be the emperor, and that person was Liu Bingyi. Because he came from a civilian background and saw the sufferings of the world, he often observed the people's feelings and managed the country in good order after becoming emperor. And he also eased the relationship with the Huns, so he could see this situation and sent Su Wu back to the Han Dynasty. Su Wu returned to the Han Dynasty with a red face and great spirit.
At this time, the emperor was very curious and asked why you were so energetic in that extremely cold place. I shepherd sheep in that place and drink mutton soup every day.
People's Daily Online-Archaeology confirmed that it was very popular to eat hot pot and drink wine in Han Dynasty.
