About Emperor Taizu of Liao
Abaoji, posthumously known by his temple name as the Emperor Taizu of Liao, was a Khitan leader and the first emperor of the Khitan Empire, ruling from 916 to 926. He had a sinicised name, Yelü Yi or Liu Yi; some sources suggest that Abaoji's family name, Yelü, was adopted during his lifetime, although there is no consensus amongst historians on this point.
