About this person

He was the son of Former Yan's founding prince Murong Huang and younger brother to both Former Yan emperor Murong Jun and Later Yan emperor Murong Chui, and therefore was an imperial prince and general during the times of both states. After Murong Chui's son Murong Bao lost most of the Later Yan's territory to the Northern Wei dynasty, 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 the Eastern Jin dynasty after Murong De's death and succession by his nephew Murong Chao. The Book of Jin described Murong De as having a stalwart and extraordinary appearance and was about two metres tall.
