The Southern Liang (Chinese: å—凉; pinyin: Nánliáng, 397-414) was a state of the Sixteen Kingdoms during the Jin Dynasty (265-420) in China. The founding family Tufa was of Xianbei ethnicity and distant relative of the Tuoba imperial house of Northern Wei. According to the Jin Shu, the name was changed from Tuoba to Tufa because one of the Tufa ancestors was born on a blanket, and in the Xianbei language, "Tufa" meant "blanket."[1]
All rulers of the Southern Liang proclaimed themselves "Wang".
In 414 Southern Liang was conquered by the Western Qin state of the Xianbei ethnicity.
