First, the origin of the rulers

As everyone knows in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Jin Dynasty is a link between the Three Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is divided into two periods: the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty. In fact, the world of Sima's family is not very glorious. Sima Yan's father Si Mazhao was promoted by Wei Emperor Cao Huan. In 266 AD, Sima Yan inherited his father's will, forcing Cao Huan to abdicate as emperor.

Second, the Eight Kings Rebellion

On the one hand, when Sima Yan was in office, extravagance prevailed, officials and the royal family competed to search for the people's fat and paste, and the people were miserable. After his death, his family and his consorts seized the imperial government, which directly led to civil strife in the central government. This chaos is sixteen years, and it is called "the chaos of eight kings" in history. This was the most serious civil strife in the history of China, which seriously damaged the economy and stability at that time and weakened the national strength.

Three or five careless China

At that time, the Hu people were oppressed and dissatisfied by the Han people for a long time, and friction occurred from time to time. During the "Eight Kings Rebellion", many nomadic peoples in the Great Wall established their own political power, mainly including five tribes: Xiongnu, Xianbei, Anta, Qiang and Di. The Kim family is divided and people's livelihood is depressed. The Hu people took the opportunity to send troops to the Central Plains, and the leader of the Miao people called himself "King of Chengdu" and later became Han. Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu aristocrat, started from Lishi and was known as the former Zhao in history.

Although Liu Yuan didn't live for a few years, his son Liu Cong was extremely cruel after he succeeded to the throne. He repeatedly defeated the Jin army to kill prisoners of war and connived at his men to burn, kill and plunder. There are more than 30 thousand innocent people alone. At that time, the Han people in the north were almost slaughtered and once fell into a crisis of genocide. After 300 years of turmoil in the Central Plains, it was not until Emperor Yangdi and Emperor Wendi unified the north and the south that complete peace was achieved.
