The Liao Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established by the Khitan people in Chinese history, with a total of nine emperors and a reign of 210 years. In 916, Liao Taizu Yelü Abaoji officially established the state as emperor and became the founder of the Liao regime, with the state name "Khitan", and the capital was Linyi Fu (present-day Bahrain Left Banner Nanboluo City, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia). In 947, Liao Taizong led his army south to the Central Plains, captured Bianliang (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province) and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty. In 983, it was renamed "Great Khitan", and in 1066, Yelu Hongji, the Taoist sect of Liao, restored the name of the country "Liao". In 1125, it was destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin.
