So different were Khitan and Chinese practices that Abaoji set up two parallel governments.

This tension led to a series of succession crises Liao emperors favored the Chinese concept of primogeniture, while much of the rest of the Khitan elite supported the traditional method of succession by the strongest candidate. Tension between traditional Khitan social and political practices and Chinese influence and customs was a defining feature of the dynasty. Through the treaty Liao forced the Northern Song to recognize them as peers. After heavy fighting and large casualties between two countries, the two sides worked out the Chanyuan Treaty. In 1004, Liao Dynasty launched an imperial expedition against the Northern Song. Later emperors would gain the Sixteen Prefectures by fueling a proxy war that led to the collapse of the Later Tang (923–936) and would establish tributary relationships with Goryeo after losing in Goryeo–Khitan Wars (1018) against Goryeo. The empire was founded by Yelü Abaoji, Khagan of the Khitans around the time of the collapse of Tang China and was the first state to control all of Manchuria.Īlmost immediately after its founding, the Khitan Empire began a process of territorial expansion, with Abaoji leading a successful conquest of Balhae. The Liao dynasty, also known as the Liao Empire, officially the Great Liao, or the Khitan (Qidan) State, was an empire in East Asia that ruled from 907 to 1125 over present-day Northern and Northeast China, Mongolia and portions of the Russian Far East and North Korea.
