Although the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the unified Western Jin Dynasty only lasted for fifty years. After the Eight Kings Rebellion, they had no choice but to migrate southward, which began with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and developed into the later Southern Dynasties, namely the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen Dynasties. These four dynasties, together with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the previous Dongwu Dynasty, are collectively referred to as the "Six Dynasties" in history. The Northern Dynasties were basically ruled by the Xianbei people, and went through the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and the Sui Dynasty, which replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, its leader was fatuous. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. In addition, the last wise emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Chen Xu, died of illness. The century-long division between the north and the south finally ended, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties began. This book tells the story of the turbulent and vibrant era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The period from 420 AD to 589 AD was another period of great division in Chinese history after the Three Kingdoms, or it can be said to be its continuation. Although the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the unified Western Jin Dynasty only lasted for a short fifty years. Afterwards, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings forced them to move southward. The Eastern Jin Dynasty began, and then developed into the Southern Dynasties, namely the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Dynasties. These four dynasties, together with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the previous Dongwu Dynasty, are collectively referred to as the "Six Dynasties" in history. Why is it called that? First, their capitals were all in Jiankang, which is today's Nanjing; second, Xu Song of the Tang Dynasty recorded these six dynasties in the book "Jiankang Shilu", and Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty also used these six dynasties as the orthodox chronicle in "Zizhi Tongjian", so later generations called these six dynasties "Six Dynasties". However, our book only introduces events in the Southern Dynasties, that is, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. Our book is about this turbulent but vibrant era. Why is there so much turmoil but so much vitality? We will explain it in detail in the text.
