He was the founding emperor.
Liu Bang (Emperor Gaozu of Han) founded the Han dynasty after defeating rivals (notably Xiang Yu) in the Chu–Han Contention and proclaimed himself emperor in 202 BCE. He was not primarily a doctrinaire Legalist or Confucian opponent—he ruled pragmatically and used a mix of policies—and although he led forces in the civil war that ended the Qin, saying he was "responsible for China’s civil war" would be misleading.
