Why did the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties seem to ha

There was also diplomacy during the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but at that time, it was in a period of war, and diplomacy would not be given a major position to talk about, and only exchanges between countries in peacetime would be carried out.

There must have been foreign exchanges during the Three Kingdoms and Sixteen Kingdoms periods, but you have not been exposed to relevant historical materials. Moreover, in the troubled times, everyone was busy fighting wars and civil strife, and there were certainly no more exchange records than those of the great unified dynasties of the strong Han and the Tang Dynasty. It was not easy for the Northern Wei Dynasty to let all countries come to court in this period of great turmoil.

It is impossible for any country not to have exchanges with foreign countries, but when the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in too much confusion, there would not be much description of exchanges with foreign countries.

First of all, let's clarify a concept, what is ancient diplomacy, the ancients had the concept of diplomacy very early, and the diplomacy they are talking about is not like the exchanges between the United Nations countries now, the diplomacy of the ancients refers to the exchange of foreign countries in the ** dynasty. The earliest diplomacy existed in the Shang Dynasty, so there were still diplomatic activities during the Three Kingdoms, the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

At that time, the social situation was relatively turbulent, everyone was busy with wars and land grabbing, and there was no time or strength to communicate with foreign countries, and it only slowly began when the country was unified.

It's not that there weren't any, but there were more wars and social turmoil at that time. So for diplomacy, there is more or less negligence. The rulers wanted to unify the world first.

It's not that there is no diplomacy, it's just that the focus at that time was not diplomacy, but reunification, because the country was very chaotic at that time, so how could these emperors have the energy to take care of these, so they just wanted to unify the world, and these diplomacy were ignored.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, the foundation for China's exchanges with the Korean Peninsula and Japan was laid. Unlike the Southern Dynasties, which were suppressed and contracted for a long period of time in terms of force and territory, the International Influence of the Southern Dynasties in East Asia far exceeded that of the Northern Dynasties. At that time, the Korean Peninsula and Japan's major countries of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa all relied on the official titles canonized by the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties to compete for their spheres of influence.

I think there must have been diplomacy at that time, but it was a relatively long time, and then I didn't pay much attention to these at that time, so there is not much record of it, like ordinary countries have diplomacy.

Yes, the starting point of "The Romance of the Two Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms", Cai Dongfan's "The Romance of the History of the North and the South".

Because there were too many characters during that time, there was no protagonist for a long time, and there was no main theme.

Because this is the era of great turmoil in China, it is the era of the transformation of the whole China from the feudal system of the big family to the imperial examination system of the Shu people.

The question is simple, because this is a time of war, and there is no unified regime, and even if there is, it is very short-lived.

Detailed Series: Li Dongfang's "Detailed Description of the Three Kingdoms", Shen Qiwei's "Detailed Description of the Two Jin and Northern Dynasties". It is divided into characters and events, which is more interesting and easy to understand. It's kind of like a miniature chronicle.

The best is Mr. Cai Dongfan's [Interpretation of the Two Han Dynasty] and [Interpretation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties], which has clear historical facts, concise writing, and easy to understand.

LZ strongly recommends that you watch "Wuhulu", the style is what you like.

No, there are too many people, and things are too chaotic.

I don't see it at the moment. However, Luo Sanyang's "Dream of the Three Kingdoms - Yuan Shao's Usurpation Conspiracy to Bankruptcy" is very worth reading, although his style may not be as popular and funny as Mingyue back then.

Wuhu Beacon Record can be glimpsed in general.

Yes, go to the library and look for it.

The Southern Dynasties were Liu Song, Xiao Qi, Xiao Liang, and Nan Chen; The Northern Dynasties were the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou. The Southern Dynasty is the Southern Regime, and the Northern Dynasties are the Northern Regime; The Sixteen Kingdoms are sixteen politically independent states, and the Ten Kingdoms are the same, because they have no direct inheritance or annexation relationship with each other, so they cannot be used for a change of dynasty

The change of a dynasty refers to the change of a vast country, and a pattern of princes can only be called a county. For example, the Han Dynasty divided the kings of the world, and only the Han Dynasty could call it a dynasty, while the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, did not form a complete regime, they were just divided into kings, and they were divided from the territory of the previous dynasty, a small territory.

Only after reunification can it be called a dynasty, and the same is true of the Three Kingdoms, and the same is true of the Warring States, which is the basic concept.

No, because they are only ununified separatist forces, not yet a dynasty.

"Wuhu Lu", "Those Things in the Northern and Southern Dynasties" (a total of three volumes).

Lü Simian, "History of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wei and Jin Dynasties".

The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be united.

Three points of Wei, Shu and Wu, the second Jin Dynasty before and after, the northern and southern dynasties stand side by side, the Sui and Tang dynasties passed on this mantra is the order of the change of dynasties, after the end of the Three Kingdoms era into the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then the Northern and Southern Dynasties Wuhu (Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di, Qiang) Sixteen Kingdoms period. Later, Emperor Wen of Sui established the Great Sui, Tang Gaozu established the Tang Dynasty, and then entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Therefore, Sima Yan of the Sima family established the Western Jin Dynasty, and then there was the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The celebrities of the Jin Dynasty include Wang Xizhi, Tao Yuanming, Gu Kaizhi and so on.

The same can be said about the change of dynasty.

The script sent me a thank you.
