“EMPEROR CHENG”
(reigned from 325 – 342)
(321 – 342)
(became emperor at age 4)
(died at age 21)
(the Jin dynasty, distinguished as the Sima Jin and Liang Jin, was a Chinese dynasty, empire, and era traditionally dated from AD 265 to 420)
(it was founded by ‘Sima Yan’, son of ‘Sima Zhao’ who was made ‘Prince of Jin’ and posthumously declared the founder of the dynasty)
(it followed the “Three Kingdoms” period (220-280 AD), which ended with the conquest of ‘Eastern Wu’ by the ‘Jin’)
(there are 2 main divisions in the history of the dynasty)
(the Western Jin (265β316) was established as a successor state to ‘Cao Wei’ after ‘Sima Yan’ usurped the throne, and had its capital at ‘Luoyang’ or ‘Chang’an’ (modern ‘Xi’an’); ‘Western Jin’ reunited ‘China’ in 280, but fairly shortly thereafter fell into a succession crisis, civil war, and invasion by the “Five Barbarians”)
(the rebels and invaders began to establish new self-proclaimed states in the ‘Yellow River’ valley in 304, inaugurating the “Sixteen Kingdoms” era)
(these states immediately began fighting each other and the ‘Jin Empire’, leading to the second division of the dynasty, the Eastern Jin (317β420) when ‘Sima Rui’ moved the capital to ‘Jiankang’ (modern ‘Nanjing’))
(the ‘Eastern Jin’ dynasty was eventually overthrown by the ‘Liu Song’)
