| | From Unity to Division - by Sean Williams |
 | | Jin’s rulers, despite Sima Yan’s attempts, had fallen victim to strong military leaders in a very similar manner as the Han Dynasty in 420, only to be replaced to three weak, short-lived dynasties (Theobald, “Jin Dynasty (265-420) and Southern Dynasties (420-589)”). |
 | | In 316, Jin’s capital, Chang’an, was taken by the Xiongnu tribe, and in order to survive, the imperial family, along with thousands nobles and peasants, migrated south of the Yangtze river (Theobald,“Jin Dynasty (265-420) and Southern Dynasties (420-589)”). |
