In 960 a new power, Song (sòng 宋, 960-1279), reunified most of China Proper. The Song period divides into two phases: Northern Song (běi sòng 北宋, 960-1127) and Southern Song (nán sòng 南宋, 1127-1279). The division was caused by the forced abandonment of north China in 1127 by the Song court, which could not push back the nomadic invaders. |

Jin Dynasty（晋朝）
Though the three kingdoms were reunited temporarily in 278 by the Jin Dynasty, the contemporary non-Han Chinese (Wu Hu, 五胡) ethnic groups controlled much of the country in the early 4th century and provoked large-scale Han Chinese migrations to south of the Chang Jiang. In 303 the Di people rebelled and later captured Chengdu, establishing the state of Cheng Han.

About Three Kingdoms Era
The Three Kingdoms period is a period in the history of China, part of an era of disunity called the Six Dynasties.
In a strict academic sense it refers to the period between the foundation of the Wei in 220 and the conquest of the Wu by the Jin Dynasty in 280. However, many Chinese historians and laymen extend the starting point of this period back to the uprising of the Yellow Turbans in 184.
