哀牢王柳貌 / Ailao King Liu Mao

Overview

哀牢王柳貌 / Ailao King Liu Mao enters the wiki through Hanji 739 as the southwestern frontier ruler whose 69 CE submission brings more than fifty thousand people into Eastern Han administrative space.

Current Profile

The source presents Liu Mao as a submission and incorporation figure, not as a rebellion leader. His action lets Mingdi’s court create Ailao and Bonan counties and begin road and crossing works through Bonan Mountain and the Lancang/Mekong corridor.

This makes Liu Mao the earlier Ailao layer before Ailao King Lei Lao’s later rebellion in Hanji 747. The contrast is useful: Hanji 739 shows entry through county creation and road opening, while the later source shows how fragile Ailao order can become under poor frontier administration.

The page remains compact because the episode does not provide Liu Mao’s full lineage, internal Ailao politics, or later fate. His durable wiki role is the conversion of local submission into county, route, and frontier-governance work.

Key Characteristics

• Ailao ruler whose 69 CE submission brings a large population under Eastern Han rule.
• Southwestern frontier incorporation figure tied to Ailao and Bonan county creation.
• Route-opening trigger because the court begins Bonan Mountain and Lancang/Mekong crossing works after submission.
• Earlier positive Ailao counterpart to the later Lei Lao rebellion case.
• Source-bounded marker for frontier integration through administration and infrastructure.

Evidence

• Submission: Hanji 739 says Ailao King Liu Mao leads more than fifty thousand people to submit to Han in 69 CE.
• County creation: Hanji 739 says the court creates Ailao and Bonan counties to manage the new frontier population.
• Route works: Hanji 739 says the state begins opening Bonan Mountain roads and crossing the Lancang/Mekong waterway.
• Ailao chronology: Hanji 739 supplies the earlier submission layer before the later Ailao rebellion already covered through Hanji 747.

Qualifications

The source does not reconstruct Ailao political structure, Liu Mao’s motives, or the local costs of incorporation. The road song praises Han reach, but the page treats that as source rhetoric attached to a difficult infrastructure project rather than as proof of uncomplicated local acceptance.

What Changed

• Created this page to distinguish 哀牢王柳貌 from the existing 刘茂 route and from the later 哀牢王类牢 rebellion figure.

Relationships

• 汉明帝 - ruler whose court accepts the submission and turns it into counties and road works.
• 哀牢王类牢 - later Ailao ruler whose rebellion contrasts with Liu Mao’s submission layer.
• 宽简边疆治理 - adjacent frontier-governance frame because later Ailao order depends on administration that can preserve local trust.
• Lancang/Mekong - river corridor named in the route-opening branch after Liu Mao’s submission.
