Abstract

The Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern dynasties witnessed frequent regime changes and accelerated ethnic integration in Chinese history. It went through four stages: the Three Kingdoms period (220–280), the Western Jin Dynasty (265–316), the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period (317–420), and the Northern and Southern dynasties (420–589). The entire era lasted nearly four centuries.
