后梁 / Later Liang

Later Liang / 后梁 is the first of the five central-plain dynasties in 五代十国 as presented by EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？. The episode places it in the phase after 黄巢’s rebellion, when late Tang order had broken and rival military powers competed for central legitimacy.

The source uses the Later Liang-后唐 struggle as part of its first periodization: “天下大乱、群雄并起” and then a northern contest over whether central power could be rebuilt.
