[Art of the Liao Dynasty]
In 916 (Zhenming 2 of the Later Liang Dynasty), Yelu Abaoji (Taizu) unified the various tribes of the Khitan people, who had lived in Mongolia from the northeastern region of China, and proclaimed himself emperor. In 936 (Tianxian 11, Tianfu 1 of the Later Jin Dynasty), Taizong (Yelu Deguang) took advantage of the unrest in the Central Plains to aid the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty and forced it to cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but in 946 (Huitong 9, Kaiun 3 of the Later Jin Dynasty), Taizong, enraged by the Later Jin Dynasty's defection, sacked the capital Bianjing (Kaifeng, Henan Province) and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty. The following year, 947 (Datong 1, Tianfu 12 of the Later Han Dynasty), Taizong changed the country's name to Liao and sent all of the Later Jin Dynasty's 100 artisans, map books, and other items to Shangjing, before returning north.

［遼代の美術］
　中国の東北地方からモンゴルにいた遊牧民，契丹族は，916年(後梁の貞明2)耶律阿保機(太祖)が諸部族を統合し，皇帝と称した。936年(天顕11∥後晋の天福1)太宗(耶律徳光)は中原の擾乱（じようらん）に乗じて後晋の成立を援助し，燕雲十六州を割譲させたが，後晋の離反に怒った太宗は946年(会同9∥後晋の開運3)首都の汴京（べんけい）(河南省開封)を陥れて後晋を滅ぼした。翌947年(大同1∥後漢の天福12)国号を遼と改めた太宗は，後晋の方技百工･図籍などをことごとく上京に送り，北帰した。
