Li Cunxu (simplified Chinese: 李存勗; traditional Chinese: 李存勖; pinyin: Lǐ Cúnxù) was King of Jin (晋王), Tang (908-923) and later became Emperor Zhuangzong (simplified Chinese: 庄宗; traditional Chinese: 莊宗; pinyin: Zhuāngzōng) of Later Tang (923-926)[1]. He was the son of Li Keyong.
Li Cunxu was successful in overthrowing the Later Liang Dynasty in 923 and proclaimed himself emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, which he referred to as the “Restored Tang.” As a part of “restoring the Tang,” the capital was moved back to the old Tang eastern capital of Luoyang.
As with all of the other dynasties of the Five Dynasties, this was a short-lived regime lasting only thirteen years. Li Cunxu himself lived only three years after the founding of the dynasty, having been killed during an officer’s rebellion led by Guō Cóngqiān (郭從謙) in 926[1]. He was succeeded by Lǐ Sìyuán(李嗣源).
