Khitan, the original meaning is "iron". Khitan is one of the most tenacious and forceful nationalities in northern China.
At the beginning of the 10th century, Jerusalem Abaochi unified all the ministries of Khitan and established the Liao State. During the Five Dynasties, the Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty acquired the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun from Shi Jingjie of the late Jin Dynasty. Since then, great changes have taken place in the political culture and social economy of Liao State. With the expansion of the territory and the need of rule, Liao carried out the "north and South officials" in politics, adopted the way of combining agriculture and animal husbandry economically, and absorbed the essence of the Central Plains tradition culturally. The Qidan society entered a new historical period.# Reading City#
