唐末，南海最後亂，僖宗以後，大臣出鎮者，天下皆亂，無所之，惟除南海而已，自隱始亦自立。 In the closing years of the Tang, the Southern Sea was the last region to descend into chaos. After Emperor Xizong, when great ministers were posted to govern circuits, the whole realm was in turmoil and there was nowhere safe to go — only the Southern Sea still received such appointments — and from Yin’s time onward they also ruled in their own right.
