About this person

After Helian Chang was captured by Northern Wei's army in 428, Helian Ding took the throne himself and for several years tried to resist Northern Wei attacks, but by 430 he had lost nearly his entire territory. In 431, he attempted to head west to try to attack Northern Liang and seize its territory, but on the way, he was intercepted by Tuyuhun's khan Murong Mugui and captured, ending Hu Xia. In 432, Murong Mugui turned him over to the Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei, who had him executed.
