During the Han Dynasty, wang xing, a Yuan city named after Wang Mang, the emperor of the new dynasty, and wang xing, a Langxie, began to appear, with Wang Ji, a doctor who remonstrated with the Western Han Dynasty, as the founder. Wang xing, Taiyuan, was founded by Wang Ba, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was divided into Jinyang Branch (based on Wei Sikong and Wang Chang in the Three Kingdoms) and Qixian Branch (based on Wang Yun in the Three Kingdoms). During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, wang xing was changed to the Central Plains by ethnic minorities, while Wang Dao and Wang Dun brothers, descendants of Langxie wang xing, assisted Si Marui in establishing the Eastern Jin Dynasty, saying that "the king and the horse * * * ruled the world".
