Editing Han-Zhao (section)

== Government ==
When Liu Yuan established the Han, he retained most of the imperial Chinese government offices such as Grand Marshal, Minister of Works and Minister Over the Masses while introducing a few Xiongnu-influenced offices, such as the Grand ''Chanyu''. The Grand ''Chanyu'' was second to the emperor, tasked with managing the non-Chinese tribes and was usually deferred to the heir apparent.

In 314, while reorganizing the government, Liu Cong introduced a dual administrative system between the Han Chinese and non-Chinese people that would later be adopted by some of the Sixteen Kingdoms. He created the offices of the Left and Right Director of Retainers to manage the 200,000 Chinese households along with the Left and Right Assistant ''Chanyu'' to govern the 100,000 tribes, who were collectively known as the "Six [[Dongyi|Yi]]" or "Six Barbarians". Modern scholars have noted that the Xiongnu, specifically from the Five Divisions and Chuge branches, were not included in the "Six Yi", and were instead administrated as part of the Han Chinese.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Huang |first=Lie |title=《中国古代民族史研究》 |date=July 1987 |publisher=[[People's Press (Beijing)|People's Press)]] |isbn= |location=Beijing |language=zh}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Gao |first=Min |title=《魏晋南北朝兵制研究》 |date=May 1998 |publisher=[[Elephant Press]] |isbn=9787534721113 |location=Zhengzhou |language=zh}}</ref>
