Trieu Lieu was founded by Khiet Dan. This is a nomadic race distributed in Mongolia today and many areas in northern China, Russia and South Korea. On February 27, 907, the leader of the Sisters of the Danes was Gia Law A Bao Co, proclaiming "Thien emperor" . On March 17, 916, Gia Law A Bao Co posted the title of "Khiet Dan". In 947, the national name was changed to "Dai Lieu". In 1125, the Liao Dynasty collapsed and was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty.

Although originally there was no written language to express the original Mongolian dialect, Lieu Lieu developed two types of writing with many characteristics like modern Chinese characters. The Liaoning emperors continued to expand their territory but focused on maintaining the pure royal bloodline, stipulating that the emperor was not allowed to marry people from the Khitan ethnic groups. However, the Liao's women had many political influences with at least three regents of each regent.
