Jin Dynasty (265 ~ 420) is a dynasty in the history of China, which is divided into two periods: the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Among them, the Western Jin Dynasty was a unified dynasty in the history of China, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was one of the six dynasties. The Jin Dynasty was passed on to the 15th emperor in 155.

Although the Jin Dynasty was the declining period of China culture since the end of Han Dynasty, it 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 one after another, and some have become independent knowledge. Ideas include metaphysics, Taoism and Buddhism spread from India to the East. Grassland culture of frontier nationalities and Chinese culture of Jin Dynasty gradually developed into cultural exchange and ethnic integration.

In terms of business, most of the wealth of the Central Plains was transferred to Jiangnan after the southern crossing of Jinshi, and business remained prosperous. The largest commercial center is Jiankang, followed by Jiangling. Due to the war and the shortage of copper and minted currency, the value of currency is in a state of chaos.

Trade has also developed. North-South trade and overseas trade are mainly controlled by the government, and there are also many private businesses. The commodities traded are daily necessities such as grain, cloth, fish, salt and some luxury goods. Guangzhou has developed maritime trade, importing pearls, jadeite, rhinoceros and spices, and exporting silk in bulk.
