In 385, the former Qin Dynasty was divided, and Tuoba GUI became king in Niuchuan, rebuilding the country and making its capital Lesheng (now Hohhot and Linger County, Inner Mongolia). In 386, the country name was changed to "Wei", which was called "Northern Wei" in history. In 398, Tuoba GUI, Emperor Daowu, moved the capital to Pingcheng (now Datong City, Shanxi Province).
