Dai (Chinese: 代; pinyin: Dài) was a state of the Tuoba clan of Xianbei ethnicity during the era of Sixteen Kingdoms in China. Its descendants established the Northern Wei Dynasty in the 4th century. Its capital was Shengle (盛樂) (near modern Holingol county (和林格爾) of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia). It would be conquered by the Former Qin in 376. The name Dai itself originated when Tuoba Yilu was created the Duke of Dai (代公) by the Western Jin in 310 as a reward for helping Liu Kun (劉琨), the Governor of Bingzhou (并州), to fight the Xiongnu Han state. This fief was later raised from a duchy to a principality.
