The history of the Eight Kings Rebellion is 16 years, which almost exhausted the foundation of China. The war broke the peace of the Central Plains for many years, and made people who had just emerged from the shadow of the Three Kingdoms War suffer from the war again, causing immeasurable losses to the country's economic development. The famine and plague that accompanied the war greatly weakened the strength of Jin State.
After the Eight Kings Rebellion, the land of the Central Plains was devastated, and the surrounding ethnic minorities took the opportunity to invade. The chaos in the Central Plains was called the Five Chaos in China. Many nomadic peoples have successively established their own regimes. Han people are called "two-legged sheep" and are slaughtered by others. The gentry of the Central Plains did not exist until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, ending the life of China people who were inferior to pigs and dogs for more than 300 years.
