Its founder is Shi Jingtang (the deathly name is Gao-tzu ). It should be noted that in Chinese history there are four periods known as "Jin" (explained here ).

Establishment of Late Jin
The first dynasty of the Türk-Shato was founded in 923 by Li Cun Xue , the son of the outstanding leader of the Château Li Kaeyun . By adopting the name Late Tang , she expanded the possessions of the Türkic Chateau from their original territory in Shanxi Province to most of North China and Sichuan Province. After the death of Li Cunxu, his adopted son Li Xiuyuan became emperor. However, his relationship with the Khitans , which played an extremely important role in the coming of the Late Tang to power, was upset.
Shi Jingtang , Li Cunxu's son-in-law, rebelled against the new emperor and, with the support of the Khitan, in 936 proclaimed the Late Jin Empire.
Territory
The Late Jin Dynasty controlled mainly the same territory as the Late Tang , with the exception of Sichuan in the southwest, lost to the Late Tang in the years of its decline.
Another significant loss was the area known as the Sixteen Districts . By this time, the Khitan had founded the Liao Empire on their part of the steppe and began to actively intervene in the struggle for control of North China . They forced the Later Jin to cede to them the strategically important district of the "Sixteen districts." Having a length of about 100–150 km to the west of present-day Beijing , this region was of key importance for spreading the influence of the Liao empire in northern China.
Khitan Relations
The late Jin dynasty is often blamed for the fact that it played the role of a puppet regime under the growing Liao empire. In fact, help from the powerful northern neighbor was the decisive factor that brought the dynasty to power, and the assignment of the Sixteen districts significantly undermined the prestige of the Late Jin, which was perceived as a vassal of the Khitan.
Nevertheless, after the death of the founder of the dynasty, Shi Jintana, his successor, Shi Chungui, decided to break with the Khitan, thereby provoking their invasion of North China in 946 and 947 , which led to the fall of the Late Jin dynasty.
