During these 54 years, there have been five dynasties in the Central Plains, namely Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Friday, which are called "Five Dynasties" in history, later Tang, later Jin, later Han and later Zhou. In addition to these five dynasties, there were more than a dozen separatist regimes, including Houshu, Wu, Nantang, wuyue, Fujian, Chu, Nanhan, Nanping (namely, Jingnan) and Beihan, which appeared one after another or at the same time. These regimes are collectively referred to as the "Ten Kingdoms", that is, the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" in the history of China. The "ten countries" are just called "big", but there are actually many separatist regimes.
The understanding of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is generally divided into narrow and broad interpretations. In a narrow sense, it is generally understood as "Five Dynasties and Ten Countries" itself. In the specific historical application practice, it is often used to refer to this historical period, which makes the positioning and understanding more rigorous. This is a broad understanding.
