Southern Dynasties

▪ Chinese history

Chinese (Pinyin) Nanchao , or (Wade-Giles romanization) Nan-ch'ao

(AD 420–589), four succeeding short-lived dynasties based at Jiankang (now Nanjing (Nanking)), which ruled over a large part of China south of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) during much of the Six Dynasties period. The four dynasties were the Liu-Song (420–479), the Nan (Southern) Qi (479–502), the Nan Liang (502–557), and the Nan Chen (557–589). Although it was a time of comparative political weakness, Chinese culture flourished during this period.
