Liu Yin (Southern Han)

Liu Yin (Southern Han)

Liu Yin (劉隱) (873 - 911) was a leader in the late Tang Dynasty and early part of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period in Chinese history ranging from the late ninth century to early tenth century. His region of influence was in Southern China around the area now known as Canton, or Guangzhou.

Rise to power

Liu Yin was named regional governor under the Tang Dynasty in 905, two years before its fall. After the fall of the Tang, he became the Prince of Nanping around his power base of Guangdong. He maintained that title until his death in 917.

Legacy

While he never declared a new kingdom or dynasty, he is historically considered to be the founder of the Southern Han kingdom which was founded by his son, Liu Yin after his death. This kingdom would continue to exist until 971 when it was forced to submit to Song Dynasty rule.
