Chinese imperial dynasty from 923 to 937
Tang
, known in historiography as the
Later Tang
, was a short-lived
imperial dynasty of China
and the second of the
Five Dynasties
during the
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period
in
Chinese history
.
[1]
The first three of the Later Tang's four
emperors
were ethnically
Shatuo
.
The name Tang was used to legitimize itself as the restorer of the
Tang dynasty
. Although the Later Tang officially began in 923, the dynasty already existed in the years before, as a polity known in historiography as the
Former Jin
(907?923).
At its height, Later Tang controlled most of northern China.
