In the history of our country, there is a family and the regime he established that have had an important impact on history and society. This is the Sima family and the Jin Dynasty they established. The Sima family established two regimes, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After three generations and four people, three dynasties returned to the Jin Dynasty.
Sima Yi and his son were wise throughout their lives, but their descendants are not as good as each generation.
Why did the "Western Jin", a unified dynasty established by several generations of talents, exist for such a short period of time?
Looking at the history of the Jin Dynasty, from Sima Yi launching a coup to control the power of Cao Wei, to Sima Yan replacing the Wei Dynasty and establishing the Jin Dynasty, to Sima Rui establishing the peaceful Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is really from Sima to Sima! The rise and fall of this family were full of fierce political struggles and profoundly reflected social changes. There were many characters and stories in this period that people talked about, and there were also many issues worth pondering.
