In the course of the Chinese nation's thousands of years of history, the replacement of dynasties and the struggle for rights have triggered countless wars, and every time they have met each other is a bloody history of national tragedy. In these wars, it is the "Five Hu Chaohua" of the Western Jin Dynasty that can be called a national catastrophe! "Wuhu Chaohua" is the darkest, bloody, and violent era in the history of the Chinese nation, which is rarely mentioned in history, and even the current textbook history is not recorded and described, because it is contrary to the culture we promote, especially for an ancient civilization of more than five thousand years, it is simply a shame. The "Wuhu Chaohua" is called the "Yongjia Rebellion" by historians and even uses the migration of ethnic minorities to cover up that dark era, which occurred during the Western Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family, and this dynasty with a short life span of fifty years is also known as the saddest dynasty in China. Why is it said that the "Five Hu Chaohua" is the darkest and most bloody and violent era in history? Let's first take a look at the infamous "Five Hu Chaohua"

The Hu-Han contradiction stems from the inward migration of ethnic minorities
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a Qiang rebellion that lasted for more than twenty years, and the Eastern Han Court used troops for many years in order to quell the rebellion, resulting in huge pressure on the central government's financial revenue, at this time someone came up with a good way to "mercenaries", hiring ethnic minorities to fight, in order to reduce their own burdens, at that time, the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Qiang, Qi, and other ethnic minority troops had fought for the Eastern Han regime. Later, in the Three Kingdoms period, this phenomenon of hiring ethnic minorities to fight was the norm, such as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Chao, the most powerful of which was that Ma Chao was called "ShenweiTian General" by the Qiang people. After all, no one wants to live in the desert and the cold and windy grassland, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of ethnic minorities began to move inland, of which the ethnic minorities in Shanxi were as high as one million, and Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms moved in to pacify Karasuma, because he was worried about their capriciousness, and moved hundreds of thousands of people from hundreds of tribes. According to Jiang Tong's "Treatise on Migration", half of the entire population of Guanzhong at that time was of foreign ethnicity.
"And there are more than a million people in Guanzhong, and the rate is much less, and rong di lives in half, and it is necessary to be honest with the situation and move."
The Eastern Han Dynasty began to establish official positions against these ethnic minorities, and by the time of Cao Wei, the number of institutional officials gradually increased. With the different national customs and cultures and customs, which led to the gradual intensification of contradictions between ethnic minorities and Han ethnic groups, it was only after watching the growing ethnic minorities of the Central Plains Dynasty that it realized the biggest trouble, that is, how to deal with these ethnic minorities? Forcibly eviction is already impossible, they have become accustomed to the current way of life who is still willing to run back to the desert grassland to live, as the saying goes, "it is easy to ask God to send God is difficult", if that may happen in advance. With so many foreign races around, once the Central Plains Dynasty revealed its flaws, they would take the opportunity to enter and cause big troubles, such as: the rebellion of the Bald And Murong Clan that broke out during the Sima Yan period caused headaches for the Western Jin Dynasty. So what to do? The only way is integration, that is, Sinicization, so that foreign nationalities identify with themselves and Han people are one, this is the fuse of contradictions, just said that the national customs and culture and customs are not the same, as well as language barriers, do not know Chinese characters, plus some customs such as the succession system, but also further increase the gap between Hu and Han, Hu and Han arrogance and prejudice against each other is the subjective factor behind the chaos. The Han people who stand at the highest point of morality despise the Hu people culturally, but they are afraid of their barbaric and good war, and the Hu people also have contempt and inferiority to the Han people, so that it is even more impossible for the Hu and Han sides to identify with each other. In the end, the decay of the Western Jin Dynasty and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" directly led to the collapse of the dynasty and the catastrophe of the Chinese nation.
How horrible is It?
In the literature, there is a definite record of the brutality of the barbarian Hu people, and the land of slaughter is full of white bones. Wherever the Hu people went, they slaughtered and plundered, leaving farmland deserted and books and cultural relics destroyed, and the brutality of the Hu people was far more than that, and it was even more outrageous that they used human flesh as military food.
The Zizhi Tongjian Jin Jijiu records: "... He defeated the king in Yanjin, and more than 30,000 men and women in Shen were in the river. ”
The First Book of the Northern History of Wei Benji records: "In August, Emperor Nan marched on Xue cadres and slaughtered qicheng..."
The Second Book of Jin records that" "... The Xuanyang Gate fell, Mi and Yan entered the Southern Palace, ascended to the front hall of Taiji, plundered the troops, and collected the palace people and treasures. Yao then killed more than 30,000 princes and hundreds of officials, and built a capital temple north of Luoshui. ”
In the Zizhi Tongjian Jin Ji VII, it is recorded: "Fang plundered the officials and private slaves of Luo Zhong, and the private slaves of more than 10,000 people went west. The army lacks food, and kills people and cattle and horses eat meat. ”
The Book of Jin, Chronicle 33, records: "When there is a great famine, thieves and thieves wait for every person to eat it, and most of the clans are eaten."
The Thirty-first Chronicle of the Book of Jin records: "And Tao, Miao, and other robbers crossed the border, straightened up the platform, forced the public secretary to move, arbitrarily made edicts, arsonists copied, ru ate people, handed over corpses to block the road, and violently covered the wilderness."

In short, the "Wuhu Chaohua" is the most disgraceful era in the history of the Chinese nation, and the Han people in the Central Plains endured the bullying of the barbarians and let the beautiful Central Plains be stained with fish. This chaotic history has led to a sharp reduction in the number of Han Chinese in the entire north from more than 20 million to 4 million, resulting in the almost extinction of the entire Chinese nation, and its degree of brutality is unique in the history of the entire human civilization, which is also the reason why people have mentioned too much not far!
