The capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty was originally in Jinling (now Nanjing), and later moved to Hongzhou (now Nanchang). The rulers of the Southern Tang Dynasty thought that they were the successors of the Tang Dynasty, so they tried their best to imitate the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in the local administrative system. When Xu Wen was in charge of Yang Wu, he took Shengzhou (Jinling) as his future ruling center and began to painstakingly manage Jinling. First, he set up the Jinling Prefecture in Shangyuan County of Shengzhou, which became the western capital of Yang Wu. After the establishment of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he changed the Jinling Prefecture to Jiangning Prefecture, still calling Jinling the western capital. In the sixth year of Xiande of the Later Zhou Dynasty (959), Hongzhou became the southern capital. A year later, the capital was moved here. However, due to the opposition of everyone, they moved back to Jinling soon after. Therefore, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty was once in Jinling (Nanjing) and Hongzhou (Nanchang).
