Everything about The Northern Liang totally explained
The
Northern Liang (;
397-
439) was a
state of the
Sixteen Kingdoms in
China. It was founded by the
Xiongnu Juqu family, although they initially supported the
Han official
Duan Ye as prince, but overthrew Duan in
401 and directly took over.
All rulers of the Northern Liang proclaimed themselves "
wang" (translatable as "prince" or "king").
Most Chinese historians view Northern Liang as ended in
439, when its capital Guzang (姑臧, in modern
Wuwei,
Gansu) fell to
Northern Wei forces and its prince
Juqu Mujian was captured. However, some view his cousins
Juqu Wuhui and
Juqu Anzhou, who subsequently settled with Northern Liang remnants in
Gaochang (高昌, in modern
Turpan Prefecture,
Xinjiang), as a continuation of Northern Liang, and thus view Northern Liang as having ended in
460, when Gaochang fell to
Rouran and was made a vassal, and the remnants of the Juqu family were slaughtered.
