The reasons and influence of the inward migration of minority clans in the Western Jin Dynasty

From the establishment of the Han Dynasty in the first year of Yongxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (304) to the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty in 439; Sixteen separatist regimes were established from Huaihe River in the south, Yinshan Mountain in the north, Conglin Mountain in the west, the sea in the east, the lower reaches of Yalu River in the northeast and Lancang River in the southwest. The five tribes in the Central Plains are called Wuhu. Historically speaking, this period was called "Five Hues and Sixteen Countries" except for the major regimes in which the Central Plains dominated outward.

The main reason is the yearning for the advanced economy and culture of the Han nationality. This so-called man struggles upward and flows downward, all in pursuit of advanced regions and ideas. Just like many people want to emigrate now.

Impact: First, it promoted national integration and common development. Second, it promoted the feudalization of ethnic minorities.
