The Liang Dynasty (502-557) was the third dynasty in China's Southern Dynasties. Xiao Yan, the prefect of Yongzhou, succeeded to the throne as the emperor of Nanqi, and Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) was the capital. Country name Liang. Xiaoyan's fief is in the county, so the country name is Liang. Because the royal family name is Xiao, also known as Xiao.

The corruption of state administration in the late Liang Dynasty led to the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the war caused great damage to the social economy of the Southern Dynasties. Later, in order to compete for the throne, the royal family in Nanliang attracted the help of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, which enabled the two dynasties to seize a large area of land in Nanliang, weakened the strength of the Southern Dynasty, and established a situation in which the south was weak and the north was strong.

Liang enjoyed the country for fifty-five years in the Southern Dynasties. In 560, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the remnants of Nanliang in Yunzhou, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, the Northern Zhou Dynasty also helped Xiao Yan's grandson Xiao Hu to establish Xiliang in Jiangling, spread san huang, and cancelled his imperial name before the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen Zhi.
