About Shi Chonggui

  • Shi Chonggui (Chinese: ???) (914–974), known in traditional Chinese historical sources as Emperor Chu of Later Jin (????, "the exiled emperor") or Emperor Shao of Later Jin (????, "the young emperor"), posthumously known in Liao as the Prince of Jin (??), was the second and last emperor of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Later Jin. The Later Jin had often been criticized for being a puppet of the emerging Khitan state Liao.
  • The help of their powerful northern neighbors was vital in the formation of the Later Jin, and the cession of the Sixteen Prefectures led to their derision as being the servants of the Khitan.
  • However, after the death of his biological uncle/adoptive father Shi Jingtang (Later Jin's founding emperor) in 942, Shi Chonggui defied Liao's Emperor Taizong, which led to the latter invading the territory of the Later Jin in 946 and 947, resulting in the destruction of the Later Jin.
