When it comes to Wuhu Chaohua, many people don't know, why? This is entirely because this was the darkest moment in the history of the Han Chinese, which led to a sharp decline in the Han population, destroyed the culture of the Central Plains, and made the people of the Central Plains live in a dire situation.
First of all, let's talk about the Five Hus, which mainly refer to the five ethnic minorities of xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Qiang, and Qiang. Of course, Wuhu Chaohua is not only a five ethnic minority, but also many ethnic minorities in the surrounding area, but their strength is relatively weak. Among them, these five ethnic minorities dominate.
They are located in the north, northwest, northeast and other desolate areas where the productive forces are backward. Began to migrate and attack the Central Plains, and began to become more powerful. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it began to invade the Central Plains, until the Rebellion of the Eight Kings during the Reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, and the depletion of the national strength of the Western Jin Dynasty gave the northern ethnic minorities the opportunity to attack the Central Plains on a large scale.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, they began to move south, and since the establishment of the first northern minority regime in 304, for 135 years, the northern minorities have established a series of regimes, known as the "Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms", but many small regimes are not included. The rapid change of regime also brought great damage to the northern region.
During the Wuhu Chaohua period, China's population, economy, culture, and productivity all had a great impact. The history of this period is a step backwards.
The chaos of the Wuhu Chaohua also caused huge losses to the Hu people. Of the five Hu, only the Qiang remained, and the remaining four disappeared.
