Tips

history

朱温, once a rebel under 黄巢, forced the last Tang emperor to give up the throne in 907. His dynasty fell in 923 to the 后唐. It is not the Liang of the Southern Dynasties, 梁朝 (502–557). The same name, 后梁, is also used for the small state a Liang prince set up at Jiangling in 555 under the protection of the Western Wei, which lasted until 587.
