Sishui Kingdom
Sishui Kingdom was a kingdom of China's Han dynasty, located in what is now northern Jiangsu province.
The kingdom was established in 113 BC. Its territories consisted of several counties formerly belonging to the Donghai Commandery. Emperor Wu enfeoffed Liu Shang, nephew of the emperor and son of Liu Shun, King of Changshan, to Sishui. Liu Shang's lineage ruled Sishui for the rest of the Western Han period:
- Liu Shang, King Si of Sishui, 113–103 BC;
- Liu Anshi, King Ai of Sishui, 103–102 BC;
- Liu He, King Dai of Sishui, 102–80 BC;
- Liu Xuan, King Qin of Sishui, 80–41 BC;
- Liu Jun, King Li of Sishui, 41–10 BC;
- Liu Jing, deposed during Wang Mang's usurpation.
In late Western Han, the kingdom administered 3 counties: Ling, Siyang and Yu. The total population was 119,114 individuals or 25,025 households.
