Jingnan
Jingnan (), also known as Nanping (南平; alternatively written as Southern Ping) and Northern Chu () in historiography, was one of the Ten Kingdoms in south-central China created in 924, marking the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907–960). Founding Gao Jichang, also known as Gao Jixing (), was appointed the regional military governor of Jiangling in 907 by the Later Liang, which took over northern China in the wake of the Tang Dynasty. He declared the foundation of the Kingdom of Jingnan (or Nanping) in 924 after the Later Liang fell to the Later Tang.

Gao Jixing
Gao Jixing (高季興) (858 – January 28, 929), né Gao Jichang (高季昌), known for some time as Zhu Jichang (朱季昌), courtesy name Yisun (貽孫), formally Prince Wuxin of Chu (楚武信王), was the founder of Jingnan, also known as Nanping, one of the states during the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. During Tang Dynasty Background Gao Jichang was born in 858, during the reign of Emperor Xuānzong. He was from Shanshi (陝石, in modern Sanmenxia, Henan), and, in his youth, became a servant of a rich man at Bian Prefecture (汴州, in modern Kaifeng, Henan) — although the identity of his master received divergent reports in traditional sources. According to the '' History of the Five Dynasties'', which the ''Zizhi Tongjian'' also adopted, he became a servant of Li Qilang (), who later became an adoptive son of Zhu Quanzhong the military governor (''Jiedushi'') of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered at Bian Prefecture) and had his name changed ...

Gao Jichong
Gao Jichong (高繼沖) (943–973) was the last ruler of Jingnan during imperial China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He ruled from 962 to 963 until his country was overrun by the Song Dynasty forces with little resistance. In the year of 962, Jichong's predecessor Baoxu died. He was then appointed Jiedushi of Jingnan region by the Song dynasty central government. This was only a ceremonial act since the jiedushi realm of Jingnan is an independent country ''de facto''. Later in the year of 962, Zhou Xingfeng, Jiedushi of Wuping died, leaving his son Zhou Baoquan in power. Zhang Wenbiao Prefecture of Heng, a general under Baoquan's command rebelled against Baoquan and consequently drew the attention of the central government. Armed forces were sent to put down Zhang's rebellion. When the Song army was passing through the Jingnan, it easily took control of the capital city of Jingnan, Jiangling. The Song forces did not meet much resistance since Jichong ordered his f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gao Baoxu
Gao Baoxu (924–962), courtesy name Xinggong (省躬), was the fourth ruler of Jingnan (r. 960–962). He was the tenth son of Jingnan's second king Gao Conghui, and the younger brother of Jingnan's third king Gao Baorong. Gao Baoxu has been described as a profligate and licentious ruler. He would summon prostitutes and muscular soldiers to his palace for group orgies in broad daylight, while he and his concubines watched from behind a curtain. Wasteful construction projects also caused widespread resentment among the population and the army. He cared little about governance, and Sun Guangxian's advice largely fell on deaf ears. He became critically ill 2 years into his reign, and on his death bed he decided to pass the throne to his nephew, Gao Baorong's son Gao Jichong Gao Jichong (高繼沖) (943–973) was the last ruler of Jingnan during imperial China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Period Of Five Dynasties And Ten Kingdoms
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (), from 907 to 979, was an era of political upheaval and division in 10th-century Imperial China. Five dynastic states quickly succeeded one another in the Central Plain, and more than a dozen concurrent dynastic states were established elsewhere, mainly in South China. It was a prolonged period of multiple political divisions in Chinese imperial history. Traditionally, the era is seen as beginning with the fall of the Tang dynasty in 907 and reaching its climax with the founding of the Song dynasty in 960. In the following 19 years, Song gradually subdued the remaining states in South China, but the Liao dynasty still remained in China's north (eventually succeeded by the Jin dynasty), and the Western Xia was eventually established in China's northwest. Many states had been ''de facto'' independent long before 907 as the Tang dynasty's control over its officials waned, but the key event was their recognition as sovereign by forei ...

Southern Tang
Southern Tang () was a state in Southern China that existed during Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which proclaimed itself to be the successor of the former Tang dynasty. The capital was located at Jinling, Nanjing in present-day Jiangsu Province. At its territorial peak in 951, the Southern Tang controlled the whole of modern Jiangxi, and portions of Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangsu provinces. The Southern Tang was founded by Li Bian in 937, when he overthrew emperor Yang Pu of Yang Wu, Wu. He largely maintained peaceable relations with neighboring states. His son Li Jing (Southern Tang), Li Jing did not follow this foreign policy, conquering the Min Kingdom in 945 and Ma Chu, Chu in 951. The Later Zhou dynasty invaded the Southern Tang domain in 956 and defeated them by 958. Li Jing was forced to become a vassal of emperor Chai Rong, cede all territory north of the Yangtze River, and relinquish his title of emperor. In 960 the Southern Tang became vassals of the ...
