How strong was China s economy during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods

It is the most chaotic period in Chinese history, the weakest time of the Han nation, and the worst period of economic strength, because of the long-term war, which has lasted for more than 300 years, and the population has withered, resulting in barren land, natural and man-made disasters, which is really the darkest era in history.

This one. It's not strong.

The north is scorched with scorched earth, and after the war, it is necessary to rely on snatching dead corpses to replenish military rations, and the economic situation can be imagined......At that time, the south had just been developed, the economy was just starting, and there were many manors, and there were actually a lot of rebellions in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties. And the commodity economy at that time was extremely shrinking......

If you want to know more specifically, you can take a look at the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties part of the "General History of China's Economy", which is shared by ISASK.

You can't ask that! It should be said how weak the economy was during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the people could not recuperate after years of fighting, and it would be good if the people could fill their stomachs.

It's very chaotic, second only to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

The economy was chaotic and regressed to the stage of barter.

It was the most frequent period of regime change in Chinese history.

It is mainly divided into the Three Kingdoms (Cao Wei, Shu Han, Eastern Wu), Western Jin Dynasty, Eastern Jin Dynasty and Northern and Southern Dynasties periods, due to the long-term feudal secession and continuous wars, the development of Chinese culture in this period has been particularly affected. Its outstanding manifestations are the rise of metaphysics, the import of Buddhism, the rise of Taoism, and the introduction of Persian and Greek cultures.

The main characteristics of the social economy during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties:

First, the economies of the North and the South tend to be balanced. The development of the south of the Yangtze River was rapid, while the development of the Central Plains was relatively slow. The Yellow River Basin is the center of China's economic development, and during the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a large gap between the economic development of the north and the south.

By the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, large-scale wars mostly occurred in the north and lasted for a long time, which caused serious damage to the economy of the north. The south, on the other hand, is relatively stable, which has led to the rapid development of the south's economy. In this way, the economy of the north and the south began to tended to be balanced, and the economic pattern with the Yellow River valley in the north as the center of gravity began to change.

Second, the manor economy of the scholars and the economy of the monasteries occupy an important position. Due to the development of the scholar system and the rulers' belief in Buddhism, the landlords' manor economy and the monastic economy swelled viciously, resulting in a large loss of land and labor.

Third, the overall level of the commodity economy is low. Due to the war, many cities were severely damaged, and the south had just been developed, and the development of the commodity economy was slow.

Fourth, economic exchanges among various nationalities have been strengthened. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, various ethnic groups had close ties with each other, and all ethnic groups learned from each other, learning from each other's strong points and complementing each other's weaknesses, which promoted economic recovery and development. At the same time, it also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
