Battle Of Baisi
The Battle of Baisi () was fought in late March 397 during the Northern Wei invasion of Later Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of China. The battle concluded in victory for Wei and was a turning point in their campaign, as a large portion of the main Yan army was destroyed and rebellions began to spring up in Yan which forced the emperor, Murong Bao to abandon the Central Plains for the northeast. Background After the disastrous Battle of Canhe Slope in 395, the Emperor of Later Yan, Murong Chui, launched another punitive expedition against the Northern Wei in April 396. Despite early success, he died of natural causes during the campaign in June, prompting the Yan army to withdraw. That same month at the Yan capital, Zhongshan (中山, in modern Baoding, Hebei), his crown prince, Murong Bao was ascended the throne, but his rule quickly proved unpopular among his subjects; he began a succession crisis by giving the role of crown prince to his younger son rather than his el ...

Sixteen Kingdoms
The Sixteen Kingdoms (), less commonly the Sixteen States, was a chaotic period in Chinese history from AD 304 to 439 when northern China fragmented into a series of short-lived dynastic states. The majority of these states were founded by the "Five Barbarians", non- Han peoples who had settled in northern and western China during the preceding centuries, and had launched a series of rebellions against the Western Jin dynasty in the early 4th century. However, several of the states were founded by the Han people, and all of the states—whether ruled by Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di, Jie, Qiang, Han, or others—took on Han-style dynastic names. The states frequently fought against both one another and the Eastern Jin dynasty, which succeeded the Western Jin in 317 and ruled southern China. The period ended with the unification of northern China in 439 by the Northern Wei, a dynasty established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan. This occurred 19 years after the Eastern Jin collapsed i ...

Tuoba Yi
The Tuoba (Chinese) or Tabgatch (, ''Tabγač''), also known by other names, was an influential Xianbei clan in early imperial China. During the Sixteen Kingdoms after the fall of Han and the Three Kingdoms, the Tuoba established and ruled the Dai state in northern China. The dynasty ruled from 310 to 376 and was restored in 386.

This powerful state gained control of most of northern China, supporting Buddhism while increasingly sinicizing. As part of this process, in 496, the Emperor Xiaowen changed the imperial clan's surname from Tuoba to Yuan (). The empire split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei in 535, with the Western Wei's rulers briefly resuming use of the Tuoba name in 554. A branch of the Tanguts also bore a surname transcribed as Tuoba before their chieftains were given the Chinese surnames Li () and Zhao () by the Tang and Song dynasties respective ...
