It existed throughout the middle and late Five Dynasties and was one of the "Ten Kingdoms" at that time. It had a certain impact on the political structure and historical development of the Lingnan region. Although the Southern Han Dynasty was relatively peaceful and the country was short-lived, the political actions and territorial changes during its reign are still important objects for studying the local history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the regional history of Lingnan.
