Decentralization
of Power (220-589)
The decentralization
of power in China brought about terrible wars and chaos in China, which
lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, China was divided into
three main kingdoms: the Wei in the area north of the Yangzi River, the
Wu in the south, and the Shu to the west. Among the three, the western
Wei was the most efficient in terms of its administrative system and accumulated
wealth. In 577, it even defeated its rival in the north. However, in 581,
one of its own generals seized power and established the Sui Dynasty.
By 589, the Sui had conquered southern China and the country was once
again united under a single government.
