North Wei and South Qi

Capital - The capital was the city of Jiangkang , located on the territory of modern Nanking .

As after the death of the able emperor Gao-di , and then the emperor W-di , when the grandson of the emperor W-di Yulin-wang was killed by a clever but cruel and suspicious relative of W-di, Xiao Luan , who took the title of emperor Ming-di and arranged mass executions of the sons and grandsons of the emperors Gao-di and W-di, as well as many officials whom he suspected of conspiring against him. The arbitrariness with which these executions were carried out, has intensified with the coming to power of the son of Ming-di, Dunhun-hou , whose actions provoked numerous uprisings. The last of them, led by the commander Xiao Yan , led to the fall of South Qi and the coming to power of the Liang dynasty. Xiao Yan occupied the throne, proclaiming himself the emperor Wu di new dynasty. ^[3]

The emperors of the Southern Qi dynasty waged frequent wars with northern China - the Northern Wei dynasty, which went on with varying success. The riots represented a great danger, which became especially frequent during the last emperors. At dawn of the dynasty, the rebellious general surrendered to the northerner the important Shouyan region, which the southern dynasty of Liang later won back many years. . ^{[4] [5]} . ^[6]
