China has not always been a united empire. The period after the fall of the Eastern Han in the second century CE until China’s reunification by the Sui dynasty in the sixth century CE constituted a period of great disunity that began with the Three Kingdoms period (one of the Kingdoms being the Shu, located in Southwest China today) and fragmented further through the Six Dynasties period, with six successive dynasties locating their capital at modern-day Nanjing, in the South. This period is also known as the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, with the six Southern dynasties south of the Yangzi River and sixteen successive and contemporary kingdoms located north of the Yangzi River.
