Summary

This week we look at the Khitan people of the steppes. These people came from the lands between Manchuria and Mongolia. Their most famous son was Yelü Abaoji who took his people to great heights in the early 10th century. His Liao Dynasty in the north of present-day China ran concurrently with the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (as well as the Song Dynasty) that resulted after the breakup of the Tang Dynasty.

Part Dynasty overview from Shat Ching, I promised that once that was behind us we would come back again and again to different periods in Chinese history and zoom in and take a closer look at many of the things we only glanced at in the overviews.
