How did the Eastern Jin Dynasty perish?

In 420 AD, Emperor Wu of Song abolished the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and established the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was declared extinct.

In the important areas of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han nationality was the commander of the town, forming a separatist situation. Emperor Wu of song used the prince as the town commander, especially Jiangzhou town in Jingzhou. Unified armor accounted for half of the country's armor, and he had to choose the prince. Since then, the health court is no longer threatened by big towns. Emperor Wu of song completed the above military and political measures, obviously there is no room for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty founded by Liu Yu, the emperor was in charge of power alone, mainly assisting him, and he chose a poor family. The original aristocratic family can only be an official with little power, and the emperor rarely trusts him. Weakening the political power of the gentry and implementing the autocratic centralization of the emperor, the degree of domestic unity in the Song Dynasty was far less than that in the powerful Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the political power was greatly enhanced.

At that time, the Yellow River Basin was unified by Xianbei Tuoba Department, and a powerful state of Wei emerged. Without a unified Han regime, Xianbei people invaded the south several times on a large scale, which is likely to annex the Yangtze River basin and destroy the developing economy and culture. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Song destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where Ji Gang was not established, and established a relatively strong Song Dynasty, which was a great contribution to the history of the Han nationality.
