Editing Jin dynasty (266–420) (section)

=== Demise ===
In 403, [[Huan Xuan]], the son of esteemed general [[Huan Wen]], usurped the Jin throne and declared the dynasty of [[Huan Chu]]. Huan Xuan was soon toppled by [[Emperor Wu of Liu Song|Liu Yu]], who reinstated Jin rule by installing Sima Dezong on the throne, posthumously known as [[Emperor An of Jin|Emperor An]]. Meanwhile, the civilian administration suffered, as there were further revolts led by Sun En and Lu Xun, and [[Western Shu]] became an independent kingdom under [[Qiao Zong]]. In 419, Liu Yu had Sima Dezong strangled and replaced by his brother Sima Dewen, posthumously known as [[Emperor Gong of Jin|Emperor Gong]]. Finally, in 420, Sima Dewen abdicated in favour of Liu Yu, who declared himself the ruler of the new [[Liu Song dynasty|Song dynasty]] (which is referred to as the Liu Song dynasty by historians in order to prevent confusion with the [[Song dynasty]] established in 960). Sima Dewen was then asphyxiated with a blanket in the following year. In the north, [[Northern Liang]], the last of the [[Sixteen Kingdoms]], was conquered by [[Northern Wei dynasty|Northern Wei]] in 439, ushering in the [[Northern dynasties]] period.

The Xianbei [[Northern Wei]] accepted the Jin refugees {{ill|Sima Fei|zh|司馬朏}} ({{lang|zh|司馬朏}}) and {{ill|Sima Chuzhi|zh|司馬楚之}} ({{lang|zh|司馬楚之}}). They both married Xianbei princesses. Sima Fei's wife was named Huayang ({{lang|zh-hant|{{linktext|華|陽|公主}}}}), who was a daughter of [[Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei|Emperor Xiaowen]]; Sima Chuzhi's son was [[Sima Jinlong]], who married a [[Northern Liang]] princess who was a daughter of the [[Lushuihu]] king [[Juqu Mujian]].<ref>{{citation |title=China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200–750 AD |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=JbdS-R3y72MC&pg=PA18 |year=2004 |publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art |isbn=978-1-58839-126-1 |page=18 ff | last= Watt | first= James C.Y.| mode=cs1}}</ref> More than fifty percent of Tuoba Xianbei princesses of the Northern Wei were married to southern Han Chinese men from the imperial families and aristocrats from southern China of the [[Southern dynasties]] who defected and moved north to join the Northern Wei.<ref>{{cite thesis|url=https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/33493331/TANG-DISSERTATION-2016.pdf?sequence=4&isAllowed=y |title= Divorce and the Divorced Woman in Early Medieval China (First through Sixth Century) |pages=151–153 |last=Tang |first=Qiaomei |date=May 2016 |degree = PhD |location=Cambridge, Massachusetts |publisher=Harvard University}}</ref> Much later, [[Sima Guang]] (1019–1086), who served as [[chancellor (China)|chancellor]] for the [[Song dynasty|Song]] and created the comprehensive history ''[[Zizhi Tongjian]]'', claimed descent from the Jin dynasty (specifically, [[Sima Fu]], brother of [[Sima Yi]]).
