==Founding== thumb|250px|left|Temple of the Qian Kings in [[Hangzhou, one of many shrines to the kings of Wuyue which still exist in its former territory.]] thumb|250px|left|Qian Liu, the founder of Wuyue. Beginning in 887, the Qian family provided military leaders (or jiedushi) to the Tang dynasty. Qian Liu was named Prince of Yue in 902, with the title of Prince of Wu added two years later. In 907, when the Tang dynasty fell and was replaced in the north by the Later Liang, military leaders in the south formed their own kingdoms. Qian Liu used his position to proclaim himself the King of Wuyue. This signaled the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period which would last until the founding of the Song dynasty in 960.
