Yin (Chinese: 殷; pinyin: Yīn), officially the Great Yin (大殷), was a short-lived dynastic state of China from 943 to 945 in the region of Fujian. It existed during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, but was not counted among the 15 regimes. Yin's only emperor was Wang Yanzheng, a member of the ruling clan of the Min state. After Wang Yanzheng took the Min throne in 945, Yin's territory was re-incorporated into Min, ending its existence as a separate polity. Soon after, the Min state was conquered by the Southern Tang dynasty.
