At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation intensified, and landlords owned their own military forces. In addition, the internal political corruption in the imperial court was dark, and the consorts eunuchs were unable to govern local forces, which led to the separatist situation. These separatist forces have different rising processes and development veins, which reflect the pluralistic face of that turbulent era.

In the development process from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Dong Zhuo's chaotic politics seems to be a flashpoint, but we will find that this is only a prelude. The Eight Kings Rebellion and Yongjia Rebellion between the Jin Dynasty were the real total outbreaks. Not only did it blow China in half, but it almost blew North China to pieces.

Extended data:

At its peak, the Sui Dynasty reached Liaoning in the east, Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang in the west, the East China Sea in the east and northern Vietnam in the south. At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, it reached the northern foot of Lake Baikal and the outer Xing 'an Mountains in the north, the Aral Sea in Central Asia in the west, Sakhalin Island in the east and northern Vietnam in the south.

Sui and Tang Dynasties adopted a relatively open policy and frequent economic and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Tang poetry is the greatest achievement in literature. Chen Ziang in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and Du Fu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen in the middle Tang Dynasty, and Li Shangyin and Du Mu in the late Tang Dynasty are outstanding representatives. The ancient prose movement advocated by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan had a great influence on later generations.
