Sixteen Kingdoms

The Sixteen Kingdoms, or less commonly the Sixteen States, were a collection of numerous short-lived regimes in the China proper and neighboring areas from AD 304 to 439. Almost all rulers of the kingdoms claimed to be the emperors and wangs (kings) within their kingdoms, except six Chinese rulers of Former Liang who nominally remained under the government of Jin Dynasty (265-420).
