Separation of powers and integration of peoples is a brief summary of the characteristics of the era of which historical period?

The Separation of Powers and the Integration of Peoples is a brief summary of the epochal characteristics of the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

1. Separation of PowersThe situation of the Three Kingdoms should be understood from a twofold point of view.

Firstly, the formation of the Three Kingdoms was a progress.

Rationale:From the reason's point of view, the formation of the three kingdoms was actually the result of the relative balance of the development of the strength of the three parties; from the influence's point of view, after the formation of the three kingdoms, the people's life was relatively stable, which was in conformity with the people's longing for stability; as the rulers of the three kingdoms paid more attention to the development of social production and the stabilization of the social order in the respective ruling areas, which contributed to the development of the economy and the stabilization of society, it was better than that at the end of Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Compared with the tragic scene of "white bones exposed in the wild, no chicken crowing for thousands of miles" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the corrupt and brutal rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty was much better; in fact, in the process of division, the factor of unification was conceived, and with the imbalance of political and economic development among the three kingdoms, the unification of the country became an inevitable trend, and therefore a progress in history.

Secondly, the three kingdoms were, after all, a division of the country, which did not conform to the trend of historical development and the people's desire for unification.

2. National integration and national unification have always been two progressive currents in the development of ancient history, and the two have been mutually reinforcing and complementary.

(1) National integration promotes national unity. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods:Through economic and cultural exchanges and frequent wars, ethnic groups were gradually integrated, which laid the foundation for the establishment of a unified multi-ethnic state by Qin. During the period of Wei, Jin and North-South Dynasties:large-scale internal migration of ethnic minorities, southward migration of Han Chinese from the Central Plains, and the reforms of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually narrowed the differences among ethnic groups, resulting in the climax of the great integration of ethnic groups, which created the conditions for the unification of the whole country by the destruction of the Chen Dynasty by the Sui Dynasty later on.

(2) National unification accelerated ethnic integration. After the realization of the great unification, the strong centralized state strengthened the management of the border areas by forcing the population to migrate, setting up the ruling institutions, enthroning the leaders of the ethnic minorities, and the policy of making peace with the relatives, thus consolidating and developing the achievements of the ethnic integration during the period of division.
