The Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, also known as the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, is the most frequent period of regime change in China's history, which is mainly divided into Wei, Jin (Cao Wei), Western Jin, Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.

In 220, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, with Luoyang as its capital and the title of "Wei", known as Cao Wei in history, and the history of the Three Kingdoms officially began. After that, it experienced a melee between the Three Kingdoms and Wei Shuwu, and was unified in the Western Jin Dynasty. After the Eight Kings Rebellion, it was greatly weakened.

The ethnic groups who moved in took the opportunity to fly in and dispatch troops, which caused a chaotic situation, and a large number of people and clans began to cross south. In 3 16, the western Jin dynasty perished, and the north entered the period of five lakes and sixteen countries.

In 3 17, Si Marui, the imperial clan of the Jin Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to the map of southern China.

However, in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, factional competition and Huan Xuan Uprising occurred again. The burden on civilians was heavy, and Sun En and Lu Xun rebelled again. Qiao Zong also stood on his own two feet. Finally, Emperor Wu of Song rose, pacified the chaos, won the throne with military strength, and entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Southern Dynasties (420-589) included Liu Song, Nanqi, Nanliang and Chen Nan. The Northern Dynasties (386-58 1) included the Northern Wei, the Eastern Wei, the Western Wei, the Northern Qi and the Northern Dynasties.

Extended data:

The so-called "Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties" is a compound word called by several dynasties. Although there are only five words, it can contain dozens of dynasties or countries.

We might as well start with the word "Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties". "Wei" refers to Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. Because Cao Wei was abdicated by the Han Dynasty, it was recognized as the Central Plains Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms period and later generations, and Shu and Wu were subordinate separatist countries in that period, so Wei was orthodox and could be called Wei Dynasty.

"Jin" mainly refers to the Western Jin established by Sima after the demise of the Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Jin later split in the south (at this time, the north was the era of "Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries").

"Northern and Southern Dynasties" refers to several dynasties formed by the confrontation between the north and the south after the official demise of the Jin Dynasty. The south includes Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, and the north includes Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. The "Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties" didn't officially end until the Sui Dynasty was established, China was unified from the north to the south, and the Eastern Han Dynasty perished.

In addition to the word Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there is also the usage of "Six Dynasties" to refer to this period. The Six Dynasties refer to Sun Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. These dynasties are basically the same as Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The characteristic is that these six dynasties were established in Jiangdong, and all countries are building health (or building powers, building powers, now Nanjing).
