Liang, known in historiography as the
Western Liang (西梁) or the
Later Liang (後梁), was an imperial dynasty of China during the Northern and Southern dynasties era of Chinese history. Throughout its existence, it remained a puppet state of the
Western Wei,
Northern Zhou and
Sui dynasties. The Western Liang dynasty was ruled by members of the same imperial clan as the
Liang dynasty. It was located in the middle Yangtze region in today's central Hubei province.
The Western Liang's founding emperor, Xiao Cha (Emperor Xuan), was a grandson of the Liang dynasty founder Emperor Wu of Liang. As a result, Western Liang is usually considered a rump state of the Liang dynasty after 557. From 555 to 557 the two states claiming the political orthodoxy of the Liang dynasty existed simultaneously: Xiao Cha ruled from Jiangling, while Xiao Yuanming and Xiao Fangzhi ruled from Jiankang. Before 555, Emperor Yuan of Liang also ruled from Jiangling before he was captured and executed by Xiao Cha and his Western Wei backers. However, he is considered a Liang dynasty emperor rather than a Western Liang emperor because, among other things, he (at least nominally) controlled a much larger territory.
The Western Liang had three emperors: Xiao Cha (Emperor Xuan), Xiao Kui (Emperor Ming), and Xiao Cong (Emperor Jing). From 617 to 621, when the Sui dynasty collapsed, Xiao Cha's great-grandson Xiao Xian occupied the former Western Liang territory (and more) and proclaimed himself King of Liang, but his short-lived state is usually considered separate.

歷史
承聖三年（554），西魏陷江陵，殺梁元帝，大定元年（555年）正月於江陵立蕭詧為梁帝，在城西駐軍加以控制，蕭詧向西魏稱臣，追贈父蕭統為皇帝，制度多從梁舊制，於大定四年（558年）一度攻占了王琳控制的長沙郡、武陵郡、南平郡，大定八年（562年）去世，太子蕭巋繼位，天寶二十四年（585年）去世，太子蕭琮繼位，廣運二年（587年）隋文帝召蕭琮入朝，同時遣軍吞併，封蕭琮為莒國公。
隋朝末年統治崩潰，617—621年間，宣帝蕭詧曾孫蕭銑奪取包括西梁故地在內的地盤自稱梁帝，但通常不被認為西梁的延續。
