Nirvana in Fire is an overhead historical novel, and all the characters he depicts are fictional. However, judging from the name of the country, the surname of the royal family and the location of the capital, the prototype of the country should be the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, also known as Nanliang or Liang Xiao.

Nanliang (502-560), the third dynasty in the Southern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, was proclaimed emperor by Xiao Yan, the secretariat of Yongzhou, instead of Nanqi, and built Jiankang (now Nanjing). The national name Liang, in the county, has a fief, hence the name Liang. Because the royal family name is Xiao, also known as Xiao.

The political corruption in the late Southern Liang Dynasty led to the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the social economy of the Southern Dynasties was greatly damaged by the war. Later, the royal family in Nanliang attracted the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty to help them compete for the throne, which made the two dynasties seize a large area of land in Nanliang, greatly weakening the strength of the Southern Dynasty and laying a strong situation in the South.

In the second year of Taiping (557), Emperor Jing of Liang was abolished to stand on his own feet, with the title of Chen, and the Chen Dynasty was established with Chen Dailiang. Three years later, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the remnants of Nanliang in Yunzhou, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, the Northern Zhou Dynasty also helped his grandson Xiao Hu to establish Xiliang in Jiangling, which spread to san huang, and the Sui Dynasty destroyed chen qian.
