The 'Southern Yan' (;
398-
410) was a
state of
Xianbei ethnicity during the era of
Sixteen Kingdoms in
China. Its territory roughly coincided with modern
Shandong. Its founder
Murong De was a son of
Murong Huang and brother of
Murong Jun and
Murong Chui and therefore was an imperial prince during both
Former Yan and
Later Yan.
All rulers of the Former Yan declared themselves "
emperors".
