Tianwan was a short-lived rebel state that existed in China during the Red Turban Rebellion, in the final phase of the Yuan dynasty. It was established in 1351 by Zou Pusheng, Peng Yingyu, and Xu Shouhui, who were leaders of the southern branch of the Red Turbans. Xu Shouhui became the emperor of this new state. In 1360, the Tianwan general Chen Youliang rebelled against the state and killed Emperor Xu Shouhui and most of the government. He then established his own state of Han, replacing the defunct Tianwan.
