Southern Tang Dynasty Li Houzhu, this high-profile historical figure, is often associated with the famous poet Li Yu. However, it is worth noting that he was not a descendant of Li Yu, but the last descendant of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who had nothing to do with Li Yu. Perhaps we need to explore the relationship between the Southern Tang, the Tang Dynasty, and the Later Tang Dynasty.
First, let's look at the connection of these three dynasties from the perspective of the ruler. The founder of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, and the later Tang Dynasty was founded by Li Cunxuan. Peculiarly, Li Yuan's descendants, including Li Keyong and Li Guochang, have been suspected by Li Yuan many times. In the end, the Later Tang was destroyed in the era of Li Cunxuan after three generations.
So, what about the Southern Tang? Li Di, the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a commoner who was forced to become a monk. The last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Yu, a famous literary scholar. Therefore, from the point of view of the rulers, the Southern Tang was not related to the Tang Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty.
Next, let's look at the historical periods of these three dynasties. The Tang Dynasty existed for 289 years, while the Southern Tang Dynasty existed for 42 years. Between the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was a period of more than ten years, that is, from 907 to 923, which coincided with the period of warlord war, that is, the period of China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Finally, let's look at the territories of these three dynasties. At its peak, the Tang Dynasty covered an area of about 10 million square kilometers, spanning Lake Baikal in the north, the Aral Sea in the west, the Liao River Valley in the east, and Hainan in the south. However, due to the ups and downs of the Tang Dynasty, the size of the territory has constantly changed.
The territory of the Later Tang reached its peak in 930. It includes Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and other places. Hubei and Jiangsu are included in the central part, Sichuan and Gansu in the west, and Guizhou and other places in the south. Although the territory of the Later Tang was relatively small, it was still a huge country at the time.
At its peak, the Southern Tang reached Zhejiang in the east, Wuling in Lingnan in the south, Hunan in the west, and the Huaihe River region in the north. The territory of the Southern Tang mainly included Henan, Huainan and Jiangnan provinces, as well as Haozhou, Yangzhou, Luzhou, Huangzhou, Jiangzhou and other places. However, compared to the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Southern Tang was still small.
So, in general, the Tang Dynasty had the broadest territory, while the territory of the Later Tang and Southern Tang was relatively small. These different characteristics also give these three dynasties their own unique status and influence in history.
In the end, these dynasties left a rich and colorful chapter in Chinese history, showing different political, social and cultural characteristics. Their rise and fall fully reflect the twists and turns and changes of Chinese history, and also provide a rich historical legacy for future generations.
