Later, internal strife broke out again in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The east was divided and the west was divided, and there was no time to take care of Jiangnan, so Jiangnan was still preserved. When the Eastern Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Territory was divided into three parts. The Zhou Dynasty was the strongest, Qi was the second, and Jiangnan was the weakest. The tripartite war lasted for several years. Qi was merged with the Zhou Dynasty, but only two-tenths of Jiangnan remained, almost all belonging to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A great prime minister, Yang Jian, was chosen.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was born as a warrior, took advantage of the opportunity of being in charge of the young country to create a mutiny in Chenqiao. He wore a yellow robe and then staged a scene of drinking wine to release his military power, which consolidated the Zhao family's regime. The country was gradually becoming unified, martial arts was practiced, and culture was cultivated. The economy and culture of the Song Dynasty made more brilliant achievements. However, Liao, Jin, and Xia successively emerged in the north, and Huayi fought repeatedly. The Song Dynasty was so weak that it was difficult to recover, and the reforms initiated by Shenzong and Wang Anshi ended in failure. Deceived by some treacherous officials who wanted to restore the new law, both emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were made prisoners. The Southern Song Dynasty court was trying to maintain peace, and for this reason, it killed generals who were determined to resist the Jin Dynasty.
