===Shen Mandate (482-535)===
===Shen Mandate (482-535)===
----In the 6th century, the Emperor of Qilia ceded some territory in southwest Qilia to the Shen family. This decision was influenced by his close friendship with Lord Shenyang, who was the father of Lord Shen. This transfer of land marked the beginning of the Shen family's rise to power. In 482, the State of Kongquen, a vassal state of Qilia, was officially established with its capital in Haigang. This year also witnessed the birth of Lord Shen, who would later play a pivotal role in the region's history.

----In the early 500s, following the assassination of his parents, Lord Shen seized control of Haigang and formalized the Shen Mandate. He quickly amassed a large army and began a campaign of terror against neighboring villages. This aggressive expansion was fueled by a vision from his family's Personal Seer, who predicted that a black and white Warrior would ultimately lead to his downfall. To preempt this prophecy, Shen targeted cities where the traditional dress and symbols were black and white, believing this would eliminate the threat.
----Following the tragic assassination of his parents in the early 500s, Lord Shen seized control of Haigang and established the Shen Mandate. With a formidable army at his command, Shen embarked on a campaign of terror, targeting neighboring villages. Fueled by a prophecy from his family's Personal Seer, which foretold the downfall of the Shen Mandate at the hands of a black and white Warrior, Shen ruthlessly pursued cities with traditional black and white attire, believing them to be a potential threat.


===='''The Massacre of Quandao'''====
===='''The Massacre of Quandao'''====

His iron-fisted rule suppressed any attempts to report these atrocities to the Emperor, cementing his fearsome reputation and consolidating his power in the region.


===='''Arrival of the Dragon Warrior'''====
===='''Arrival of the Dragon Warrior'''====
----Thirty years later, a renowned Kung Fu Warrior named Ping Xiao Po, also known as the Dragon Warrior, arrived in Haigang. Po wore light black and white armor, which aligned with the prophetic vision that haunted Shen. Accompanied by five Kung Fu masters, Po was quickly captured by Shen. Shen, confident in his power, showcased his dragon-shaped cannon, capable of firing devastating fireballs. However, Po and his companions managed to escape, igniting a fierce battle against Shen's forces in Haigang.
----Thirty years later, a renowned Kung Fu warrior called Ping Xiao Po, also known as the Dragon Warrior, arrived in the port city of Haigang. Po was an imposing figure, wearing black and white armor that highlighted his unique identity. He was a living symbol of the prophecy that haunted the tyrant Shen. With him, Po brought his five loyal Kung Fu companions, each a master of their own art.
 
Po's arrival did not go unnoticed. Shen, fearing the fulfillment of the prophecy, ordered the immediate capture of Po and his companions. Shen's forces, well trained and numerous, managed to capture them in a carefully planned ambush. Confident in his power, Shen decided to show off his latest creation: a dragon-shaped cannon capable of firing devastating fireballs. It was a weapon of destruction never seen before, designed to further consolidate his hold on Haigang.
 
However, Po and his companions, using their skill and impeccable coordination, managed to break free from their bonds. A fierce battle began in the narrow streets of Haigang, with Po and his companions facing off against Shen's forces. The battle was intense, with quick blows and agile movements filling the air with dust and sparks.
 
In the midst of the chaos, Po spotted Shen's boat anchored in the harbor. Determined to end the threat once and for all, Po rushed to the boat, closely followed by his companions. They fought bravely against Shen's guards, making their way to the main deck. There, Po found Shen, ready for the final battle.
 
In the middle of the rough sea, with the wind blowing hard and the waves crashing against the boat's hull, Po and Shen faced each other. Shen, armed with a long sword, attacked relentlessly. Po, unarmed, relied on his agility and Kung Fu techniques to dodge the attacks. His movements were precise and elegant, each dodge and jump perfectly calculated.


In the ensuing chaos, Po confronted Shen on his boat in the middle of the sea. Despite being unarmed, Po skillfully dodged Shen's relentless attacks. During the battle, Shen's own helpers inadvertently caused the dragon-shaped cannon to misfire. The cannonball struck the boat's mast, causing it to collapse on top of Shen, thus fulfilling the prophecy of his demise.
At a decisive moment, during a particularly ferocious attack by Shen, one of Shen's aides, in the midst of confusion and fear, activated the dragon cannon incorrectly. The shot hit the mast of the boat, which collapsed with a crash, trapping Shen under the rubble. The prophecy, feared for so many years, had finally come true.


===='''Aftermath and Dissolution'''====
===='''Aftermath and Dissolution'''====
----In 535, news of Shen's defeat reached the Emperor. He promptly dispatched the Imperial Army to Haigang to subdue the remnants of Shen's soldiers. By 536, the Shen Mandate was officially dissolved, and all territories were reabsorbed by the Emperor, restoring order to the region. The fall of the Shen Mandate marked the end of a turbulent chapter in Qilian history and the restoration of imperial control.

A hallmark of Tanglao's political organization was the gynoandrocratic system, in which power was shared between an emperor and an empress. This structure, although innovative for the time, did not eliminate social inequalities. Women were still confined to traditional roles in families, while men predominated in agricultural and artisanal activities.

==== The re-ascension of The "Dragon Nation" | "Qília" (1798) ====
----In 1798, a series of significant rebellions erupted in the Shola-controlled Qilian capitals of Haigang, Yùshan, Beigou, and other major cities. These uprisings were fueled by the Qilians’ desire for greater autonomy and control over their international trade and affairs, which had been heavily influenced by the Shola Empire. The Qilians asserted that official independence was declared with the start of these rebellions, marking the re-emergence of Qília.
 
The rebellions grew rapidly, forming large masses of Qilian insurgents commonly known as "The Golden Banners." This moniker derived from the various yellow, red, and gold banners carried by the rebels. While the gold banner is now prominently featured on the Qilian flag, it does not hold a direct symbolic connection to independence.


=== Chola Empire ===
United by their shared history and a desire for freedom, the ancient people of Qilia rose up against Shola rule. After years of struggle, the Shola Empire was forced to officially recognize Qília's independence on March 13, 1830.


===Huàtao Rebellion or Taosheng Rebellion (1868-1876)===
The country faced a period of instability following the departure of the Shola Empire. To address this, Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the Yùshang rulers, became Emperor of Qilian, ruling jointly with his wife, Meiling Beizhi. They sought to restore the Qilian tradition of gynoandrocratic governance while also fostering better relations with the population. To this end, they reopened the Parliament, establishing a Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy that continues to govern Qilia today.
----After the re-ascension of Qilia, which for years had been part of the Chola Dynasty, the history of Qilia began anew, becoming "independent" from the Cholas in 1830 and there was a new Emperor, who was a direct descendant of the last Emperor of the Yùshang Dynasty. His name was Xian Yù, and he was Emperor of Qilia during 1830-1864, dying at the age of 88, and his Wife Mei Ling, ruling from 1864-1866, dying at the age of 74, and ceding the throne to her eldest Son, Jian Yùling.{{Image frame|width=300|content=[[File:huataorebellionrepresentation.png|300px]]
|caption=Huátào Rebellion against Jian Yùling, painting by Yangguang Guzhou (1812-1907)|align=left}}Jian Yùling was an Emperor who called himself Pontifical, thus being the first Pontifical Emperor of Qilia; during the first two years, he mainly developed the urban centers, which made cities like Beigou, Nangang, Haigang and Goatanggou more developed and important for the Qilian economy of the time;


However, he made a bad decision for the population in general after this, he banned almost all religions from Qilia, with only the Pontifical being accepted, and began a Religious Persecution throughout Qilia, mainly persecuting those of the Traditional Religions (Confucianism, Taoism and Bagavati) and the Shinkyo.
==== Huàtao Rebellion or The Golden Dragons Rebellion (1868-1876) ====
----{{Image frame|width=300|content=[[File:huataorebellionrepresentation.png|300px]]
|caption=Huátào Rebellion against Jian Yùling, painting by Yangguang Guzhou (1812-1907)|align=left}}Following its re-emergence as an independent nation in 1830, Qilia embarked on a new chapter in its history. The Empire's first emperor after independence was Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the last Yùshang Dynasty ruler. Xian Yù reigned from 1830 to 1854, passing the throne to his wife, Meiling Beizh, who ruled until 1858. Their eldest son, Jian Yùling, succeeded them.


This triggered rebellious thinking on the part of the population, and on April 16, 1868, the Huàtao Rebellion began in the countryside and in some important cities, such as Taishan, Shanghu, among many others.
Jian Yùling, the first Pontifical Emperor of Qilia, focused on urban development during his eighteen-year reign. Cities like Beigou, Nangang, Haigang, and Goatanggou flourished under his economic policies, contributing significantly to Qilia's prosperity. However, his reforms also led to a more centralized and absolute monarchy, as he sought to consolidate power.


With the rise of the rebellion, the Emperor, as a way of protecting himself and his sovereignty at the time, made the army go against the rebellion and ordered them to protect him at all costs. Some military leaders, such as Han Wugong, rejected this idea, mainly because his family was traditionally Taoist, which made him go over to the side of the Golden Dragons, being one of the forerunners who made the Rebellion gain power; He organized several ambushes which managed to gain more weapons, and managed to go against the Yùling Imperial army, which gradually lost or went over to the side of the Rebellion.
Despite his economic achievements, Jian Yùling's actions alienated the population. In 1866, he imposed a religious ban, suppressing nearly all faiths except for the Pontifical religion. This religious persecution, which targeted traditional religions like Confucianism, Taoism, and Bagavati as well as Shinkyo, sparked widespread discontent.


On April 16, 1868, the Huàtao Rebellion erupted in rural areas and major cities. Emperor Jian Yùling, determined to protect his rule, mobilized the army to suppress the rebellion. However, some military leaders, like Han Wugong, sympathized with the rebels due to their own religious beliefs. Han Wugong joined the Golden Dragons, a rebel faction, and played a pivotal role in their success. He led several ambushes, acquired additional weapons, and engaged the Yùling Imperial army, which gradually suffered defeats and defections.
On March 13, 1876, the mass rebellions forced Jian Yùling to abdicate the throne. This day was celebrated as a victory by the Qilian people, who commemorated it as the "Day of the Golden Dragons." The subsequent governments continued to honor this day with traditional festivals featuring gold and red, the colors of Qilia.

Qília commonly known as the Great Qília or Yùshang Dynasty, is a country located in Southern Borelia Region, consisting of 20 provinces, two districts (Haigang and Yùshan), and two large autonomous territories (Wangdak [དབང་ཏ་ཏ་ཁེ།] and Bodljong [བོད་ལྗོངས།]. Qilia's neighbors are Kyun Alura in the West, Singhapala Bisaya in the East and Sukoku in the South.

With a population of over 178 million. The capital is Yùshan (Capital), and the most populous city is Haigang.


Etymology

The word "Qília" has been used in Qílian since the 2st century BC; Its origin was traced through the Qílian "小介" Pinyin: qí lia'.

It means "People of Chi", or People of Vital Energy.

History

Pre-History


Archaeological evidence suggests that the first hominids inhabited Qília between 250,000 and 2.24 million years ago. A cave in Zhoukoudian (near present-day Nanlaohu) contained fossils dated between 300,000 and 780,000 BC. The fossils in the cave are from Man of Nanlaohu, an example of Homo erectus who manipulated fire. There are also remains of Homo sapiens dating from 18 to 11,000 BC found at the Nanlaohu Man site. And the Huangshang Cave, close to the Yùshan, where they found remains of Homo Sapiens dating from 16,000 to 10,000 BC.

First Dynasties (2030-1050 BC)


Qilian tradition indicates the Hui Dynasty as the first imperial dynasty, but it was considered mythical until scientific excavations found the first sites of the Bronze Age Erlang Culture in Xantou Province in 1957. Archaeologists discovered urban sites, bronze implements, and tombs in sites mentioned as belonging to the Hui in ancient historical texts, but it is impossible to verify whether these remains date back to this period without written records from the period.

The first Qílian dynasty to leave historical records was the somewhat feudal Yan dynasty, which established itself along the Xantou and Bao T'sen River, in Central-South Qília, between the 17th and 11th centuries BC. The oracular writing on the bones of this dynasty represents the oldest form of Qílian writing ever found and is a direct ancestor of the traditional Qilian characters.

The Yùtsé communities were the first remnants of the existence of the Qílian people , where they persisted until the creation of the Yan Dynasty, and were invaded from the South and West by the Shao Dynasty in the 16th century BC.

The Shao were invaded from the west by the Zhouyin Dynasty, which ruled from the 12th to 5th centuries BC until their centralized authority was slowly eroded by feudal warlords.

Several independent states eventually emerged from the weakened Zhouyin government and fought constant wars with each other during the so-called Spring and Winter Period, which lasted 300 years, only occasionally being interrupted by Emperor Qin Shihuang. At the time of the Warring States Period, during the 5th and 3rd centuries BC, there were seven powerful sovereign states in what is now Modern Qilia, each with its own king, ministry, and arm.

Spring and Winter Period (770-481 BC)


After the Zhouyin capital was sacked by the Shang and Bangfao , the Zhouyin moved the capital to the south-west, from the now desolate Zonghua in Xantou, near modern Ti'an, to Chengsui in the Tao River Valley. The Zhouyin royalty were then closer to their main supporters, particularly Jian and Feng; the Zhouyin royal family had much weaker authority and depended on the lords of these vassal states for protection, especially during their flight to the western capital. In Damen, Prince Yijiu was crowned by his supporters as King Ping. However, with the Zhouyin domain greatly reduced to Damen, Chengsui and the surrounding areas, the court could no longer support the six army groups it had in the past; the Zhouyin kings had to request help from powerful vassal states for protection against attacks and to resolve internal power struggles. The Zhouyin court would never regain its original authority; instead, it was relegated to being just a figurehead of the regional states and ritual leader of the Jin clan's ancestral temple. Although the king held the Mandate of Heaven, the title had little real power.

With the decline of Zhouyin's power, the Yangtze River drainage basin was divided into hundreds of small autonomous states, most of them consisting of a single city, although a handful of states with multiple cities, especially those on the periphery, had the power and opportunity to expand outwards.A total of 148 states are mentioned in the chronicles of this period,128 of which were absorbed by the four largest states by the end of the period.

Shortly after the royal court moved to Chengsui, a hierarchical alliance system emerged where the Zhouyin king would give the title of hegemony (霸) to the leader of the state with the most powerful armed forces; the hegemony was obliged to protect both the weaker Zhouyin states and the Zhouyin royalty from invading non-Zhouyin peoples: the Northern Feng, the Southern Taidan, the Western Yin and the Western Fang. This political structure maintained the fēngjiàn power structure, although interstate and intrastate conflicts often led to a decline in respect for clan customs, respect for the Ji family and solidarity with other Zhouyin peoples. collective defence of Zhouyin territory against the "barbarians".

Over the next two centuries, the four most powerful states - Sh'in, Jiao , Qilia and Chun - fought for power. These city-states often used the pretext of aid and protection to intervene and gain suzerainty over the smaller states. During this rapid expansion, interstate relations alternated between low-level wars and complex diplomacy.

Warring States Period (481-230 BC)

The Warring States Period (481-230 BC) takes its name from a historical work compiled in the 1st century BC, the Zhan (Strategies of the Warring States), a collection of texts dating back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. It was a rich time for the philosophical thought and Qílian science, marked by political decadence, the end of the Zhouyin's capacity for arbitration and sovereignty over internal problems and the beginning of confrontations.

Military treatises by generals of the period, some of which have been partially found, demonstrate a rapid evolution in the way war was carried out. The era had great Qilian military strategists, such as Sun Tzu and Sun Pin. These general celebrities dared to establish increasingly refined tactics. The stories bring to the world a unique atmosphere, which involves China in one of the most unique periods in History. A turbulent and dark phase, resulting from continuous confrontations, alliances that could be easily corrupted, betrayals, surprise attacks and merciless murders. These were the ingredients of a rapidly evolving political framework, which led to the strengthening of the State of Qin, benefiting from its strategic strategic position, west of the Yangtze River, and protected by solid natural defenses.

During this period, there were seven fighting kingdoms: Sh'in, Qi, Zhouyin, Hang, Wai, Chun and Yang.

The Kingdom of Sh'in ended up conquering everyone at the end of the period, leaving Qília unified under the same government and the same system of writing and weights and measures.

The establishment of the Sh'in Dynasty and the Fall


The Sh'in Dynasty was founded by Qin Shihuang, who unified the warring states of Qília in 230 BC. Under his rule, Qilia experienced a period of great change and progress. Qin Shihuang began with the construction of the Great Wall of Qília, standardized weights and measures, and created a centralized government system.

However, Qin Shihuang's rule was also characterized by brutality and oppression. He suppressed freedom of expression and sentenced many dissidents to death. His death in 221 BC triggered a series of revolts that led to the end of the Sh'in dynasty in 212 BC.

The Sh'in Dynasty was a time of great change in Qilia, but it was also a period of great instability and violence.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, the Qilian people would begin a great revolt that was carried out by the Warlord Shi-Fenghuang Yùshang, who would emerge in the eastern part of the Sh'in Dynasty, and that region, possessing abundant resources, caused

The Qílian nation rose from the ashes, and the Qilians began with the revolt in 221 BC, which conquered the newly formed Sh'an Dynasty, and in 211 BC conquering the capitals of Sh'an (Huanglan) and the capital of the Sh'in Dynasty(Baofen), ending the history of the Sh'in and Sh'an Dynasty.

After the creation of Qília, Shi-Feng Yùshang adopted laws that definitively stabilized the country, establishing Religious Freedom throughout the nation, in addition to adopting Taoist and Confucian philosophies.‎

‎The long term of Shi-Feng Yùshang (was born in 253 BC , Elected Emperor in 213 and died in 183 BC aged 70) made several changes within Qília.

He adopted the form of government that he himself created, called "后裔家族" (Hòuyì jiāzú), or modernly: Ginoandrocratic Hereditary Monarchy, which operated as follows:

The Monarch, Emperor or Empress would take the throne after the death of his/her husband/wife, his/her mandate would continue until the end of his/her life, after his/her death, his/her wife/husband if alive, would take the Emperor's place /Empress, creating an Empress or another Emperor, after the death of the Empress/Emperor, if the parents die, the children would come into power, with the most honest and recognized for their kindness by the court and people assuming the throne (if older than 17 years).

Shi-Feng Era (221-183 BC)


Shi-Fenghuang Yùshang (253-183 BC) was the first emperor of the Yùshang Dynasty, who ruled Qilia from 221 BC until 183 BC. He was a wise and visionary man, and his rule was marked by a series of reforms that modernized Qilia and laid the foundations for a period of peace and prosperity. Shi-Feng was born into a noble family Ping Town , near Yùshan Town. He received a careful education, and from an early age he demonstrated a great interest in philosophy and politics. In 224 BC, realizing the Fall of the Sh'in , Shi-Feng gaining followers, he made the Yùshang Dynasty rebuild itself with its historical past, Dynasty, and with resources acquired in the Huang-tsé River Basin, he proclaimed the Yùshang Dynasty in 221 BC, and went to war against the Sh'in and Sh'an Dynasties.

The Era of Peace and Stability or the Ying-li Era


Ying-li (230-162 BC) was a Qílian empress who ruled the Yùshang Dynasty from 183 BC to 162 BC as regent for her husband, Shi-Fenghuang Yùshang (250-183 BC). She was the first woman to rule Qília for a significant period.

Ying-li was born into a family of merchants in the bustling town of Yùshan. From a young age, she displayed exceptional intelligence and ambition, qualities that set her apart in the competitive environment of the Yùshang court. Her keen mind and strategic acumen quickly earned her a reputation as a formidable figure in political circles. In 197 BC, she married Emperor Shi-Feng, the founder of the Yùshang Dynasty, solidifying her influence within the court.

Following the unexpected death of Shi-Feng in 183 BC, Ying-li assumed the role of regent, ruling in the name of her late husband. Her ascension to power was not without challenges; however, Ying-li's skillful maneuvering and astute political strategies allowed her to swiftly consolidate her authority. She adeptly appointed loyal allies to key governmental positions, effectively neutralizing potential threats and securing her position as the de facto ruler of Qília.

Beyond her political prowess, Ying-li was a patron of the arts and culture. Under her guidance, the Yùshang Dynasty saw a renaissance in literature, music, and visual arts. She commissioned numerous artists, poets, and scholars, fostering an environment where cultural achievements flourished. Ying-li's reign was also marked by significant infrastructure projects. She initiated the construction of an extensive network of roads and canals, which facilitated trade and communication across the empire. A particularly notable endeavor was her continuation of the Qília Wall, a massive fortification project. She implemented a policy that rewarded the laborers with daily provisions, ensuring the workforce was well-fed and motivated.

Ying-li passed away in 162 BC, leaving a legacy of stability and prosperity that endured well beyond her lifetime. Her reign is often regarded as a golden age for the Yùshang Dynasty. Ying-li's contributions to the political, cultural, and infrastructural landscape of Qília cemented her status as one of the most influential empresses in the history of the empire.

Ying-li's rule brought a prolonged period of peace and stability to Qília. Her ability to maintain order and promote economic development was unparalleled. She was instrumental in enhancing the country's cultural heritage, making her reign a time of significant intellectual and artistic achievement. However, Ying-li was not without her critics. Some contemporaries and later historians criticized her for her relentless ambition and the ruthless tactics she employed to secure her power. Despite these criticisms, her commitment to the well-being of her subjects and her effective governance cannot be overstated.

Ying-li remains a pivotal figure in Qílian history. As the first woman to govern the country for an extended period, she broke significant barriers and set a precedent for female leadership. Her reign is a testament to her remarkable capabilities and enduring impact on the development of the Yùshang Dynasty.

Shen Mandate (482-535)


In the 6th century, the Emperor of Qilia bestowed a portion of southwestern Qilia upon the Shen family as a token of friendship for Lord Shenyang, Lord Shen's father. This land grant marked the beginning of the Shen family's ascent to power. In 482, the State of Kongquen, a Qilian vassal state, was established with its capital in Haigang. It was in this year that Lord Shen was born, destined to play a pivotal role in the region's history.

Establishment of the Shen Mandate


Following the tragic assassination of his parents in the early 500s, Lord Shen seized control of Haigang and established the Shen Mandate. With a formidable army at his command, Shen embarked on a campaign of terror, targeting neighboring villages. Fueled by a prophecy from his family's Personal Seer, which foretold the downfall of the Shen Mandate at the hands of a black and white Warrior, Shen ruthlessly pursued cities with traditional black and white attire, believing them to be a potential threat.

The Massacre of Quandao


In 503, Shen launched a devastating invasion of Quandao and its surrounding towns. The massacre that ensued was a horrific testament to Shen's cruelty, as his forces decimated the population. His iron-fisted rule suppressed any attempts to report these atrocities to the Emperor, cementing his fearsome reputation and consolidating his power in the region.

Arrival of the Dragon Warrior


Thirty years later, a renowned Kung Fu warrior called Ping Xiao Po, also known as the Dragon Warrior, arrived in the port city of Haigang. Po was an imposing figure, wearing black and white armor that highlighted his unique identity. He was a living symbol of the prophecy that haunted the tyrant Shen. With him, Po brought his five loyal Kung Fu companions, each a master of their own art.

Po's arrival did not go unnoticed. Shen, fearing the fulfillment of the prophecy, ordered the immediate capture of Po and his companions. Shen's forces, well trained and numerous, managed to capture them in a carefully planned ambush. Confident in his power, Shen decided to show off his latest creation: a dragon-shaped cannon capable of firing devastating fireballs. It was a weapon of destruction never seen before, designed to further consolidate his hold on Haigang.

However, Po and his companions, using their skill and impeccable coordination, managed to break free from their bonds. A fierce battle began in the narrow streets of Haigang, with Po and his companions facing off against Shen's forces. The battle was intense, with quick blows and agile movements filling the air with dust and sparks.

In the midst of the chaos, Po spotted Shen's boat anchored in the harbor. Determined to end the threat once and for all, Po rushed to the boat, closely followed by his companions. They fought bravely against Shen's guards, making their way to the main deck. There, Po found Shen, ready for the final battle.

In the middle of the rough sea, with the wind blowing hard and the waves crashing against the boat's hull, Po and Shen faced each other. Shen, armed with a long sword, attacked relentlessly. Po, unarmed, relied on his agility and Kung Fu techniques to dodge the attacks. His movements were precise and elegant, each dodge and jump perfectly calculated.

At a decisive moment, during a particularly ferocious attack by Shen, one of Shen's aides, in the midst of confusion and fear, activated the dragon cannon incorrectly. The shot hit the mast of the boat, which collapsed with a crash, trapping Shen under the rubble. The prophecy, feared for so many years, had finally come true.

Aftermath and Dissolution


News of Shen's defeat reached the Emperor in 535, prompting him to dispatch the Imperial Army to Haigang to contain Shen's remaining forces. In 536, the Shen Mandate was officially dissolved and its territories were reabsorbed by the Emperor, restoring order in the region. The fall of the Shen Mandate marked the end of a turbulent chapter in Qilia's history and the reassertion of imperial control.

Continental Empire of Tanglao (Yùshang Dynasty) (1363-1644)


The Tanglao Continental Empire was one of Borealia's most influential civilizations, spanning a period of 281 years between 1363 and 1644. With deep roots in Kyun Alura, Qilia, Musashi, SBR and northern regions of Borealia, the empire left a lasting legacy in terms of culture, politics and maritime exploration.

Rise and Territorial Extension


Under the Yùshang dynasty, the empire reached its territorial peak, unifying diverse cultures and establishing trade routes that connected Borealia to distant continents. The Qílian script, originating in Qília, was fundamental for cultural unification, the Territorial unification was facilitated by the implementation of the Qilian script, a complex and elegant writing system that became the standard for written communication throughout the empire. However, Borealia's linguistic diversity also gave rise to the Bisayian script, a simpler and more adaptable writing system, which became popular in the more remote regions of the empire. a reflection of the linguistic diversity of the empire, which stretched from the lush southern forests to the frigid tundra of the north.

Religion, Art and Social Organization


Taoism was the official religion of the empire, profoundly influencing the philosophy, art, and daily life of the Qilians. Architecture and art reveal aesthetic refinement and a deep connection with nature.

A hallmark of Tanglao's political organization was the gynoandrocratic system, in which power was shared between an emperor and an empress. This structure, although innovative for the time, did not eliminate social inequalities. Women were still confined to traditional roles in families, while men predominated in agricultural and artisanal activities.

The Great Navigations and the Decline


Under the command of Dài líng'he, the Great Boreal Navigations expanded the horizons of the empire, establishing commercial and cultural routes with other civilizations. However, Tanglao's splendor was interrupted by a series of wars and revolts, which undermined the empire's internal stability. The SBR and Kyun regions were the scene of intense revolts, led by the X and Y movements, which challenged imperial authority.

Legacy


Tanglao's decline marked the end of an era of prosperity and unity. However, its cultural, political and scientific legacy continues to this day. Qilian writing and the Qílian (Post-Classical Qílian) art continue to be studied and appreciated, and the Great Boreal Navigations are remembered as a landmark in the history of maritime exploration.

Great Dragons | "Age of the Great Rebellions" (1798-1830)WIP


The re-ascension of The "Dragon Nation" | "Qília" (1798)


In 1798, a series of significant rebellions erupted in the Shola-controlled Qilian capitals of Haigang, Yùshan, Beigou, and other major cities. These uprisings were fueled by the Qilians’ desire for greater autonomy and control over their international trade and affairs, which had been heavily influenced by the Shola Empire. The Qilians asserted that official independence was declared with the start of these rebellions, marking the re-emergence of Qília.

The rebellions grew rapidly, forming large masses of Qilian insurgents commonly known as "The Golden Banners." This moniker derived from the various yellow, red, and gold banners carried by the rebels. While the gold banner is now prominently featured on the Qilian flag, it does not hold a direct symbolic connection to independence.

United by their shared history and a desire for freedom, the ancient people of Qilia rose up against Shola rule. After years of struggle, the Shola Empire was forced to officially recognize Qília's independence on March 13, 1830.

The country faced a period of instability following the departure of the Shola Empire. To address this, Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the Yùshang rulers, became Emperor of Qilian, ruling jointly with his wife, Meiling Beizhi. They sought to restore the Qilian tradition of gynoandrocratic governance while also fostering better relations with the population. To this end, they reopened the Parliament, establishing a Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy that continues to govern Qilia today.

Huàtao Rebellion or The Golden Dragons Rebellion (1868-1876)

Following its re-emergence as an independent nation in 1830, Qilia embarked on a new chapter in its history. The Empire's first emperor after independence was Xian Yù, a direct descendant of the last Yùshang Dynasty ruler. Xian Yù reigned from 1830 to 1854, passing the throne to his wife, Meiling Beizh, who ruled until 1858. Their eldest son, Jian Yùling, succeeded them.

Jian Yùling, the first Pontifical Emperor of Qilia, focused on urban development during his eighteen-year reign. Cities like Beigou, Nangang, Haigang, and Goatanggou flourished under his economic policies, contributing significantly to Qilia's prosperity. However, his reforms also led to a more centralized and absolute monarchy, as he sought to consolidate power.

Despite his economic achievements, Jian Yùling's actions alienated the population. In 1866, he imposed a religious ban, suppressing nearly all faiths except for the Pontifical religion. This religious persecution, which targeted traditional religions like Confucianism, Taoism, and Bagavati as well as Shinkyo, sparked widespread discontent.

On April 16, 1868, the Huàtao Rebellion erupted in rural areas and major cities. Emperor Jian Yùling, determined to protect his rule, mobilized the army to suppress the rebellion. However, some military leaders, like Han Wugong, sympathized with the rebels due to their own religious beliefs. Han Wugong joined the Golden Dragons, a rebel faction, and played a pivotal role in their success. He led several ambushes, acquired additional weapons, and engaged the Yùling Imperial army, which gradually suffered defeats and defections.

On March 13, 1876, the mass rebellions forced Jian Yùling to abdicate the throne. This day was celebrated as a victory by the Qilian people, who commemorated it as the "Day of the Golden Dragons." The subsequent governments continued to honor this day with traditional festivals featuring gold and red, the colors of Qilia.

Qília in Great War


During the early stages of the Great War, Qilia maintained a stance of neutrality. However, as the Singhapala Bisaya Republic (SBR) began to fall under the influence of Hansa, concerns arose within the Qilian court regarding the potential for Hansa's influence to extend to Qilia. In response to these apprehensions, on 29 May 1924, Qilia formally reached out to Tayichi, seeking to join the Borealian United Front.
