Everything about The Former Qin totally explained
The
Former Qin (;
351-
394) was a
state of the
Sixteen Kingdoms in
China. Founded by the
Fu family of the
Di ethnicity, it completed the unification of North China in
376. Its capital had been
Xi'an up to the death of the ruler
Fu Jiān. Please note that, despite its name, the Former Qin was much later and less powerful than the
Qin Dynasty which ruled all of China during the
3rd century BCE.
The defeat of the Former Qin in the
Battle of Fei and the subsequent uprisings split the Former Qin territory into two noncontiguous pieces after the death of Fu Jiān: one located at present day
Taiyuan,
Shanxi and was soon overwhelmed in
386 by the
Xianbei under the
Later Yan and the
Dingling. The other struggled in its greatly reduced territories around the border of present day
Shaanxi and
Gansu until disintegration in
394 under years of invasions by the
Western Qin and the
Later Qin.
All rulers of the Former Qin proclaimed themselves "
Emperor" except for Fu Jiān, who claimed the title "Heavenly Prince" (
Tian Wang) but was posthumoustly considered an emperor.
