Jin Dynasty is one of the dynasties in the history of China, which is divided into two periods: Western Jin (265-3 16) and Eastern Jin (3 17-420).
After Si Mazhao sent troops to attack Shu, Wei Emperor named him "Duke of Jin" in ten counties such as Bing, and became King of Jin after destroying Shu. Later, his son Sima Yan inherited his title and forced Wei Emperor to abdicate and become emperor himself. This country is called "Jin" and its capital is Luoyang. Wu Luanhua, Jin's South Crossing, and Si Marui, the evil king, rebuilt the Jin Dynasty in Jianye. Because he is in the east of Luoyang, it is divided into "Western Jin Dynasty" and "Eastern Jin Dynasty" in history.
The Western Jin Dynasty was founded by Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, with Luoyang as its capital. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was founded by the Jin and Yuan Emperor Si Marui, and Jiankang was its capital.
Although the Jin Dynasty was a period of cultural decline in China since the end of Han Dynasty, it also made new progress in philosophy, literature, art, history, science and technology. Jin Dynasty culture is developing towards diversification, which is an era of cultural creation, conflict and integration. Because the exclusive position of Confucianism has been broken, philosophy, literature, art, history and science and technology have been innovated, and some of them have become independent knowledge.
Contemporary ideas, including metaphysics, Taoism and Buddhism, spread from India to the East, and scholars gained the upper hand by talking openly. Because the frontier nationalities brought grassland culture, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had the Central Plains culture and Jiangnan culture, and the two sides gradually began cultural exchanges or ethnic integration.
In 420, Emperor Wu of Song abolished the independence of Gong Jin and established the Song Dynasty, which was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history for the sake of Song Wudi and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty unified North China in 439, it entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
