  3. ^ The start of Gao Jixing's "reign" depends on how one defines "reign." Traditionally, the 924 date is used since that was when he was created the Prince of Nanping by Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, but one could also use 912 (when Gao temporarily broke off his tributary relationship with the Later Liang emperor Zhu Zhen), 913 (when Zhu Zhen created him the Prince of Bohai and briefly brought him back into the Later Liang fold), or 927 (when Emperor Mingzong of Later Tang declared a general campaign against him but was subsequently unable to conquer and reabsorb Jingnan).
