Duan Jifei
Duan Jifei  was an empress of the Chinese/Xianbei state Southern Yan.
Her husband was the founding emperor Murong De (Emperor Xianwu).
Her given name is lost to history, but her courtesy name
Jifei was recorded and used by historians.
Her father was Duan Yi (段儀).
Duan Jifei's older sister Duan Yuanfei was the empress of Murong De's older brother, Murong Chui, the founding emperor of Later Yan.
She married Murong De in or slightly before 388, when he was the Prince of Fanyang.
They did not have any sons.
In 398, Murong De, displeased at how Murong Chui's son and successor Murong Bao had, through incompetence, lost most of the Later Yan territory, declared himself the Prince of Yan and established the separate Southern Yan state.
In 400, he declared himself emperor and created Duan Jifei empress.
After Murong De died in 405 and was succeeded by his nephew Murong Chao, she became empress dowager, but in 406 became embroiled in a plot with Murong Zhong (慕容鍾) the Prince of Beidi and the generals Murong Fa (慕容法) and Duan Hong (段宏) to overthrow Murong Chao, but after one of the coconspirators, Feng Song (封嵩) was arrested, she became fearful and revealed the entire plot to Murong Chao, who then defeated the coup attempt.
The 406 plot was the last reference to Empress Dowager Duan in history.
In 408, after Murong Chao ransomed his mother Lady Duan back from Later Qin, he honored his mother as empress dowager, implying that Empress Dowager Duan Jifei might not be still alive at that point, or was deprived of her empress dowager title.
(There was a reference in the "Zizhi Tongjian" that stated, "Empress Dowager Duan of Yan's title was removed, and she went to reside in a different palace"; the modern Chinese historian Bo Yang opined that referred to Later Yan's Empress Dowager Duan.)
Murong Huang
Murong Huang (297–348), courtesy name Yuanzhen (元真),
formally Prince Wenming of (Former) Yan ((前)燕文明王) was a ruler of the Xianbei state Former Yan and the commonly recognized founder of the state.
When he first succeeded his father Murong Hui in 333, he carried the Jin Dynasty (265-420)-bestowed title Duke of Liaodong, but in 337 claimed the title of Prince of Yan, which is traditionally viewed as the founding date of Former Yan.
(Emperor Cheng of Jin did retroactively recognize Murong Huang's princely title in 341 after much debate among Jin officials.)
After his son Murong Jun completely broke away from Jin and claimed the title of emperor in 353, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Wenming of (Former) Yan with the temple name Taizu (太祖).
In the Book of Jin, Murong Huang was described as a strong looking tall man (approximately 1.91 metres).
Empress Dowager Duan (Murong Chao)
Empress Dowager Duan( 段太后, personal name unknown) was an empress dowager of the Chinese/ Xianbei state Southern Yan.
She was the mother of the last emperor, Murong Chao.
During Former Yan, Lady Duan, was the wife and probably princess of Murong Na( 慕容納) the Prince of Beihai.
After Former Yan's destruction by Former Qin in 370, the Former Qin emperor Fu Jiān initially made Murong
Na a commandery governor, but later Murong Na was relieved from that post and relocated, along with his mother Lady Gongsun and Lady Duan to be with his younger brother Murong De, who was the governor of Zhangye Commandery( 張掖, roughly modern Zhangye, Gansu).
( Murong Na and Murong De had the same mother.)
Later, when Murong Na's brothers Murong De and Murong Chui rebelled against Former Qin in 384, with Murong Chui establishing Later Yan and becoming its emperor, Fu Chang( 苻昌) the new governor of Zhangye arrested and executed Murong Na and all sons of Murong De and Murong Na.
At that time, Lady Duan was not executed because she was pregnant, but she was imprisoned to await execution after she gave birth.
However, the jailer Huyan Ping( 呼延平) was a former subordinate of Murong De's, and he took Lady Gongsun and Lady Duan and escaped to the lands of the Qiang tribes, where Lady Duan gave birth to Murong Chao.
After Lady Gongsun died in 394, Huyan Ping took Lady Duan and Murong Chao to Later Liang.
Later, after Later Liang surrendered to Later Qin in 403, Huyan Ping, Lady Duan, and Murong Chao were among the populace of the Later Liang capital Guzang( 姑臧, in modern Wuwei, Gansu) forcibly relocated to the Later Qin capital Chang'an.
There, Huyan Ping died, and Lady Duan had Murong Chao take Huyan Ping's daughter as his wife.
In 405, after Murong De, who had by then established Southern Yan and become its emperor, had become aware that Murong Chao was being detained in Chang'an, he sent secret messengers to encourage him to flee to Southern Yan.
Murong Chao did not dare to tell even his mother and wife, and fled to Southern Yan.
As Murong
De had no surviving sons, he made Murong Chao his crown prince, and after he died later that year, Murong Chao succeeded him as emperor.
One thing that Murong Chao immediately opened negotiations with Later Qin on was to request Later Qin to deliver his mother and wife to him.
Murong Chao accepted the Later Qin emperor Yao Xing's terms—submit as a vassal, and also to deliver Former Qin imperial musicians who had become Southern Yan court musicians to Later Qin.
In 407, Yao Xing delivered Lady Duan and Lady Huyan to Southern Yan.
Murong Chao did not immediately honor Lady Duan as empress dowager, perhaps because Murong De's wife Empress Duan Jifei was already empress dowager.
However, he did so in 408.
Murong Chao's rule was an arbitrary and incompetent one, and the Southern Yan state suffered greatly, particularly after he provoked Jin by attacking its borders and capturing its people to be trained as replacement musicians in 409.
This drew a major attack by the Jin general Liu Yu, and in 410, the Southern Yan capital Guanggu( 廣固, in modern Qingzhou, Shandong) fell, and Southern Yan was no more.
Murong Chao was executed, and he entrusted his mother and wife to the Jin official Liu Jingxuan( 劉敬宣), who had once been a Southern Yan subject.
However, no further records about the fate of Empress Dowager Duan was recorded, and it was quite possible that she was executed as well, as Liu Yu executed large numbers of Southern Yan officials and nobles.

Fu Song'e( 苻娀娥, died September 404) was a consort of Murong Xi( Emperor Zhaowen), emperor of the Chinese/ Xianbei state Later Yan.
She was posthumously honored as Empress Min( 愍皇后).
She was the older sister of Murong Xi's empress Fu Xunying.
Empress Huyan (Southern Yan)
Empress Huyan( 呼延皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Chinese/ Xianbei state Southern Yan.
Her husband was the last emperor, Murong Chao.
Her father Huyan Ping( 呼延平) was a subordinate of Murong Chao's uncle Murong De when Murong De was the governor of Zhangye Commandery( 張掖, roughly modern Zhangye, Gansu) during Former Qin. Later, when Murong De and his brother Murong Chui rebelled against Former Qin in 384, with Murong Chui establishing Later Yan and becoming its emperor, Fu Chang( 苻昌) the new governor of Zhangye arrested and executed Murong Chao's father Murong Na( 慕容納) and all sons of Murong De and Murong Na.
At that time, Murong Na's wife Lady Duan was not executed because she was pregnant, but she was imprisoned to await execution after she gave birth.
However, Huyan Ping was then the jailer, and took Murong Na and Murong De's mother Lady Gongsun and Lady Duan and escaped to the lands of the Qiang tribes, where Lady Duan gave birth to Murong Chao.
After Lady Gongsun died in 394, Huyan Ping took Lady Duan and Murong Chao to Later Liang.
Later, after Later Liang surrendered to Later Qin in 403, Huyan Ping, Lady Duan, and Murong Chao were among the populace of the Later Liang capital Guzang( 姑臧, in modern Wuwei, Gansu) forcibly relocated to the Later Qin capital Chang'an.
There, Huyan Ping died, and Lady Duan had Murong Chao take Huyan Ping's daughter as his wife.

In 407, Yao Xing delivered Lady Duan and Lady Huyan to Southern Yan.
Murong Chao created Lady Huyan empress in 408.
Murong Chao's rule was an arbitrary and incompetent one, and the Southern Yan state suffered greatly, particularly after he provoked Jin by attacking its borders and capturing its people to be trained as replacement musicians in 409.

Murong De
Murong De (336–405), name changed in 400 to Murong Beide (慕容備德), courtesy name Xuanming (玄明), formally Emperor Xianwu of (Southern) Yan ((南)燕獻武帝), was the founding emperor of the Chinese/Xianbei state Southern Yan.
He was the son of Former Yan's founding prince Murong Huang
(Prince Wenming) and younger brother to both Former Yan emperor Murong Jun (Emperor Jingzhao) and Later Yan emperor Murong Chui (Emperor Wucheng), and therefore was an imperial prince and general during the times of both states.
After Murong Chui's son Murong Bao lost most of Later Yan's territory to Northern Wei, Murong De took troops under his own command south and established Southern Yan, which secured modern Shandong, but failed to expand further, and was destroyed by Jin Dynasty (265-420) after Murong De's death and succession by his nephew Murong Chao.
Book of Jin (晉書) described Murong De as having a stalwart and extraordinary appearance and was about two metres tall.
