Li Gao

Li Gao (351–417), courtesy name Xuansheng), nickname Changsheng, formally Prince Wuzhao of (Western) Liang, is the founding duke of the Chinese state Western Liáng.

(While he claimed only the title of duke during his reign, he was posthumously honored with the princely title.)

He was initially a Northern Liang official, but in 400, he secedes from Northern Liang's prince Duan Ye's rule and established his own independent state.

His state only lasts or 21 years, but his descendants will remain key officials and nobles throughout Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui Dynasty, and one of them, Li Yuan, would found the Tang Dynasty in 618.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he is posthumously honored as Emperor Xingsheng .
