In such an eventful autumn, there were many dynasties, among which the late Tang Dynasty and the southern Tang Dynasty puzzled many people. Many people think that the later Tang Dynasty and the southern Tang Dynasty are descendants of the Tang Dynasty, and even think that they are "continuation versions" of the Tang Dynasty. It is true that the Tang Dynasty had a far-reaching influence on people. In fact, these two dynasties really had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, and the later Tang Dynasty and the southern Tang Dynasty only took "Tang" as the national title.
The late Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. I used to think that I could flourish and flourish. Many people are familiar with the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Yuan destroyed Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty. Through the efforts of several monarchs, the Tang Dynasty made unprecedented achievements in economy, military affairs, culture and fields, and was one of the most powerful and prosperous countries in the world at that time. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the national strength declined, followed by the destruction of the Tang Dynasty by Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, and then entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion.
After four monarchs, it lasted only fourteen years. At that time, the late Tang Dynasty was the most extensive and prosperous dynasty at that time. The strength of the later Tang Dynasty was stronger than that of other countries, so it was considered to be a dynasty that could revive the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
The later Tang Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Shatuo people, but it was not the real royal lineage of the Tang Dynasty. The later Tang Dynasty belonged to Li Jianli. Li's grandfather Zhu Xie, a native of Shatuo, was once active in the rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, so he was given the surname Li. Later, Li Keyong, Li's son, pacified Huang Chao and was named King of Jin. Later, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established the back beam. Li Keyong rebelled against Zhu Wen under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty. After Li Keyong's death, his son Li Xucun succeeded to the throne, defeated Liang Jun and proclaimed himself emperor. He still used the name of the Tang Dynasty under the pretext of inheriting the imperial power system of the Tang Dynasty. In order to distinguish the two dynasties, later generations called it "Late Tang Dynasty" in history.
Although the late Tang Dynasty only existed for 14 years and was wiped out by the Khitan and Shi Jingtang, it had a great influence on the economy and politics at that time.
The original surname of the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Xu. In order to win the hearts of the people, the founding monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Bian, formerly known as "Xu Zhigu". The original title was Qi. Later, Xu Zhigu claimed to be a descendant of the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty and changed his surname to "Li". Since then, it has been renamed "Tang" and historically "Southern Tang". As for whether it is true or not, only Li Bian knows it. In Li Bian, the son of this generation was beaten by the Zhou Dynasty and didn't even dare to ask for the name of the emperor, so he could only be called "Jiangnan Lord".
Until Sun Tzu's generation, it was Li Yu's generation, which was well known by later generations, but what was well known was not political ability, but talent. A "young beauty" has been told through the ages, but it is not qualified as a monarch. Not only did he have no ability and courage, but when the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, Song Jun surrendered and left his country before he could make a phone call.
To sum up, it can be seen that the late Tang Dynasty and the southern Tang Dynasty have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. The reason why everyone chose "Tang" as their country name is only to gain the recognition of the Li people and make the regime justified, but it also fully proves the great influence of the Tang Dynasty on future generations.
