Liao people named themselves.
On the other hand? Liaoning? It is also a province and place name of China. What is the moral? Liaohe river basin, peace forever? , belong to different concepts, but have the relationship of land ownership.
Because the birthplace of Qidan in history is called? Emperor Liao? So the Khitans imitated the Central Plains as the birthplace of their country name. For example, Liu Bang originated in Hanzhong area and took Han as the country name after the establishment of the dynasty. After the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, Liao became the only regime in the Central Plains that could compete with Qidan. During the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to recapture the lost sixteen states in Shi Jingtang, many northern expeditions were launched, but after a whole day, there were few victories and many defeats.
After a 25-year-long large-scale war, when Song and Liao reached an alliance, the two countries maintained a state of peace. At this time, Liao country also reached the greatest heyday in history. Now Liaoning province is also the economic, political and military center of Liao country at that time, just like the capital of a country.
During the confrontation between Liao and Song Dynasties, the scope of Liaoning Province now belongs to the jurisdiction of Liao State. At that time, the territory under the jurisdiction of Liao State was very wide, stretching from the Sea of Japan to the east, Altai Mountain to the west, Ergon River and Daxinganling Mountain to the north, and Baigou River to the south of Hebei Province, with extremely prosperous territory.
Later, due to the internal struggle of the royal family, the whole country was torn apart, and finally the Jin State established by Jurchen destroyed the Liao State. At that time, the royal family of Liao fled to the west, which was called western Liao in history. The Western Liao Dynasty didn't last long and was finally destroyed by Mongolia. When Jurchen occupied the three northeastern provinces, they massacred and oppressed the Khitans who stayed in the northeast, and the Khitans disappeared in the long river of history with the passage of time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the present Liaoning area was also called the capital of Liaodong, not because there was a prosperous Liao country here, but with reference to the historical title and the specific geographical location of Liaohe River. In the Qing dynasty, it was renamed Fengtian.
Because the Qing Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established by Jurchen, the Jin State established by Jurchen destroyed the Liao State in history, and it was not until it had Liaoning that it gradually became stronger. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne in Liaoning and proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Qing Dynasty, he destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Manchu people think that Liaoning province is a treasure trove of geomantic omen and can bring prosperity to their own nation, so they change Liaoning province to? Fengtian? , a bit of a Mukden carrier.
During the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition and the Northeast Warlord Zhang Xueliang's? Northeast China changed its flag? Put Northeast China under the jurisdiction of Chiang Kai-shek National Government. Later, Zhang Xueliang changed Fengtian to Liaoning, which was the reason of Liaoning Province.
Therefore, the name Liaoning province has little to do with the Liao country of that year. If Zhang Xueliang hadn't changed his name, maybe this place would still be called Fengtian. But because it was the prosperous place of Liao country at that time, many historical sites of Liao country were preserved.
