The fourth line of
刘禹锡's
蜀先主庙, after
势分三足鼎 'he split the realm like the three legs of a cauldron'. The five-zhu coin, first cast under
汉武帝 in 118 BC, stood for Han rule:
王莽 abolished it when he took the throne, and the Eastern Han brought it back in AD 40. Restoring the coin means restoring the Han, which
刘备 claimed to carry on in Shu.
