Expand the influence of the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Shortly after the death of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, a 16-year-long war for the central government took place in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 29 1 ~ 306). This war not only dealt a fatal blow to the ruling forces in the Western Jin Dynasty, but also had a far-reaching impact on the history of China, especially the development history of the Han nationality.

The Eight Kings Rebellion lasted for a long time, mainly in the vicinity of Luoyang, the ruling center at that time, which brought endless suffering to the people and eventually led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty and the tragedy of "five disorderly flowers". More importantly, the "Five Disturbances in China" caused by this war brought an almost devastating blow to the Han nationality in the Central Plains.
