Tuoba Liwei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tuoba Liwei (Chinese: 拓拔力微; pinyin: Tuòbá Lìwéi) was the first leader of the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, in 219–277.[1][2][3] He was the ancestor of the future Northern Wei Dynasty and was thus posthumously honored as Emperor Shenyuan, with the temple name Shizu. Later, Emperor Wen of Western Wei changed his temple name to Taizu.
