In 206 BC, Han Yu successfully destroyed the Qin dynasty and set up his own empire with its capital at Peng Cheng (present day Xuzhou), naming himself Hegemon-King of Western Chu. Upon the mountains at the south of the city, he built a stage for martial art performances, horse performances and soldier parades, hence the term Sima Tai.
