Why was the Eastern Jin Dynasty able to be peaceful for more than 100 years?

First, the north is too chaotic to look south. Second, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was supported by those gate valve forces, and it was not so easy to collapse. Third, in the hearts of the Han people, the north is basically Hulu, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is orthodox. Secondly, the Yangtze River natural insurance.

The north did not form a unified and powerful dynasty, and they were at war with each other. Although the former Qin had the tendency to unify the world, it was full of internal contradictions, and after the First Battle of Feishui, it did not have the ability to go south again.

The north has always been the historical, political and economic center of China, and it has not changed, and it has no place to use when it crosses the border.

Good location. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is separated by the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for foreigners to fight over; And the ancient north was the center of gravity of the war.

Because the northern regime at that time was still relatively chaotic, there was basically not much time and energy to pay attention to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

1. The Hu people focused on the Guanlong region and Hebei region, which were the center of the world and the foundation of the emperor, and did not focus on Jiangnan, whose economy was far inferior to that of the north at that time, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to breathe.

Second, the Eastern Jin Dynasty relied on the Yangtze River as a barrier, which was conducive to defense, and at that time the five Hu and sixteen countries in the north were full of wolves, wars and chaos, and the internal friction was great, and there was no time to look south.

There are many reasons why the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to stand alone. First, the location is just rightAt that time, the Hu people in the north were eyeing the north, and in their impression, the north was more valuable than the south further south, why? Because since ancient times, Shaanxi and Hebei have been battlegrounds, and many emperors have built their capitals here, and the political significance of these two places is very strong.

Therefore, the Hu people believed that if they took these two places, they could deal a morale blow to the Han people in the Central Plains, forcing them to accept their own rule, so the above two places were the focus of the Hu people's attack, and further south, the Hu people had little desire and probably intended to slowly encroach on them.

Second, from the perspective of social environment and economic environment, the southern region where the Eastern Jin Dynasty is located is also very difficult for the Hu people who are accustomed to the dry climate in the north. At that time in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Chinese population was still very small, and the environment was not destroyed much, and the southern climate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very humid, the humidity was high and the temperature was high, and insects were rampant.

At that time, there was no such thing as the current dehumidifier, which led to not only the Hu people, but also those Gaomen clans who fled from the north suffering from beriberi, which was really miserable; Moreover, from the perspective of social environment, the south at this time has not fully exerted the advantages of the land of fish and rice, but the degree of education of the Han people in the north is higher than that in the south, therefore, the north should also be the first choice, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was ignored.

In addition, the Hu people themselves are not monolithic, and there are all kinds of problemsIt's too late to deal with his own internal affairs, so how can he have time to go to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to show off his might? Running to Henan is considered to be dead; Moreover, in terms of reputation, because the Eastern Jin Dynasty occupies the orthodox name of the world, the Hu people do not dare to move for the time being.

Historically,Whether it is the usurpation of power by force or the smooth transition, the replacement of the old and the new attaches great importance to the word "orthodoxy".The Eastern Jin Dynasty has such a big hat to protect, and the Hu people naturally need to think twice.

The population of the north has moved to the south in large numbers, and there are many talented people to turn the tide, while the terrain in the south is dangerous, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is very easy to defend, and it has strategic advantages. The southern part of the country has very convenient water and land transportation, frequent commerce and trade, and a developed commodity economy, which is conducive to increasing the income of the state treasury.

Although the internal situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was relatively chaotic, the external threat was also very serious at that time, so everyone was unanimous with the outside world, so they could get temporary peace.

Although the situation is not good, there are many talents in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and everyone works together, their hearts are in one place, and they are united in the outside world, so they can get temporary peace.

There are many talents in the main Eastern Jin Dynasty, so even if their situation at that time was both internal and external, they were able to be consistent with the outside world.

Because there are many talents in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as Xie An, Wang Dao and others, and the economic development is also relatively good, and the terrain is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although there were many internal problems in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were able to unify externally, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty also produced many famous generals.

Because the Southern Dynasties controlled the entire Yangtze River, the Yangtze River became a natural danger that was difficult for the Northern Army to cross, and the North and the South were in chaos, and it was necessary to cross the Yangtze River to unify China.

From an economic point of view, the south has very convenient water and land transportation, frequent commerce and trade, and a developed commodity economy, which is conducive to increasing the revenue of the state treasury.

Song (420-479 AD).

Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was an emerging power that developed in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was victorious in the struggle against the four great families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in 420 AD he deposed the Jin Emperor and established himself as king, with the state name Song. In order to distinguish it from the Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin in later generations, historians call it "Liu Song".

Because Liu Yu was born in poverty, and saw the lesson of the Eastern Jin Dynasty due to the repeated rebellion of the big clan, it was destroyed, so after he ascended the throne, he no longer reused the famous clan. Most of its employees are from poor backgrounds, and the military power is mainly handed over to their own princes, so they did not repeat the mistake of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, due to the struggle for power and profit between the princes, they finally killed each other, which Liu Yu did not expect.

In 422 BC, Liu Yu died, and Emperor Shaodi of Song and Emperor Wen ascended the throne one after another. Among them, the 30 years of the reign of Emperor Wen Liu Yilong was the most prosperous period of the Song Dynasty, and it was only then that the economy and culture of the south really developed. From 450 to 451 AD, the Song and the Wei of the Northern Dynasties fought with each other, but both suffered heavy losses, making the North and South unable to fight again.

Since then, the north and the south have been relatively stable. In 454 A.D., Emperor Wen. After the death of Emperor Wen, Emperor Xiaowu of Song and Emperor Ming of Song successively became emperors, but both of them were famous tyrants, who were not only suspicious of the generals, but also killed each other among brothers, and the politics were chaotic for a time.

During this period, Xiao Daocheng, the assassin of Southern Yanzhou, took advantage of the political chaos to form a strong force. In 479, Xiao Daocheng destroyed the Song Dynasty and established Qi. At this point, the Song Dynasty was declared extinct.
