Everything about The Northern Qi totally explained
The
Northern Qi Dynasty (Chinese: 北齊) was one of the
Northern dynasties of Chinese history and ruled northern China from
550 to
577. It was the successor state of the
Xianbei state of
Eastern Wei, as Eastern Wei's paramount general
Gao Huan was succeeded by his sons
Gao Cheng and
Gao Yang, who took the throne from
Emperor Xiaojing of Eastern Wei in 550 and established Northern Qi as its Emperor Wenxuan. As Northern Qi was plagued by violent and/or incompetent emperors (Emperor Wenxuan,
Emperor Wucheng, and
Gao Wei), corrupt officials, and deteriorating armies. Although it was the strongest state of the three main Chinese states (along with
Northern Zhou and
Chen Dynasty) when it was established, it gradually declined and was destroyed by Northern Zhou in 577. (Emperor Wenxuan's son
Gao Shaoyi the Prince of Fanyang, under protection by
Tujue, later declared himself the emperor of Northern Qi in exile, but in
580 was turned over by Tujue to
Northern Zhou and exiled to modern
Sichuan. It is a matter of controversy whether Gao Shaoyi should properly be considered a Northern Qi emperor, but in any case the 577 date is generally used by historians as the ending date for Northern Qi.)
