  abstract = {Two prominent leaders in the nomadic conquest of Western Chin were skillful manipulators of symbols in the effort to legitimize their rise and reigns. Out of three possible genealogical traditions, Liu Yuan chose the particular lineage that linked him to both royal Han and Hsiungnu lines. Shih Le adopted both his surname of "Stone" and name of "Inscription" to take advantage of contemporary prophetic lore. Both cases confirm the concern for legitimacy that lay behind the use of these names.},
