Was the Liao Dynasty, which always hung the Northern Song Dynasty and crushed the Northern Song Dynasty on the ground, actually killed by the eagle?
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Khitan people gradually developed and grew, and at the time of the fall of the Tang Dynasty, their nobleman Yelü Abaoji was called emperor and founded the country.
After that, the Liao Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms south of the Great Wall stood side by side for a long time, and successively became an important force influencing and even influencing the change of the five dynasties, and expanded its power to the west to the western region.
Later, the Jurchens established the Jin Dynasty and destroyed the Liao Dynasty in one fell swoop, and its nobleman Yelü Dashi was forced to migrate westward, and finally established the Western Liao Dynasty in Central Asia, which lasted for more than 200 years and flourished for so much that Wang Anshi, a famous scholar, writer and politician of the Northern Song Dynasty, commented, "Since the ages, the Yidi people have been large, and there is no Khitan today." ”
However, it was such a Khitan emperor whose strength often crushed the Northern Song Dynasty often had a hobby, hunting, so he fell in love with a kind of falcon native to the Five Kingdoms under the Jurchen rule, Hai Dongqing, and eventually led to the fall of the country.
For details, please refer to the article I wrote, "The Khitan Dynasty, which crushed the Northern Song Dynasty, was actually killed by an eagle?" 》。
