Out-of-control Dynasty: 50 Years of the Rise and Fall of the Western Jin Dynasty
About This Novel
In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, ending the Three Kingdoms era. Although the Western Jin Dynasty completed the great cause of unification, the imperial power has weakened since the end of the Han Dynasty and the rule is not stable. The hundred years of chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty led to ideological collapse, and the power of traditional Confucianism to safeguard imperial power weakened, laying the foundation for unrest. At the same time, the imperial power of the Western Jin Dynasty declined, and the fragile power system quickly collapsed in the power struggle. In the end, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out and the situation got out of control. The Western Jin Dynasty was unable to control its own destiny, and ran like a wild horse running toward destruction in the chaos and turmoil.
