Abstract/Summary:
After the civil strife of the Late Jin, the five Hus immigrated to the North China and established the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties. With the severe domestic and foreign fight, the Sixteen Kingdoms were unified by the Northern Wei dynasty after several times unification and division. But the civil strife were happened again on the late Northern Wei, then the Eastern Wei,the Northern Qi, the Western Wei and the northern zhou Dynasty were established. The Northern Zhou Dynasty annexed the Northern Qi Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty,then the Sui Dynasty unified the north and south of china. From different perspective, Historians interpreted the reason why it was experienced the situation from division to unity, from orderly to the chaos for nearly three hundred years. But the research from the inside of the nomadic, especially from the demand and the control of the living resource, the combination and the change of the organizational structure were not enough.Because of the limitation of the natural climate, the resources quantity of the unit area of grassland, and increasion of the population, The nomadic tribes were survived in starved of living resources. So the view is described in paper, that is,for seeking more survival resources, the northern nomadic immigrated between different grassland and moved to the Central Plains. The rise and fall of the five Hus was mainly determined by the obtain and control of the survival resources, and the combine and change of the nomadism organizational structure. The bigger scale of control, utilization of forage resources in the steppe zone by the five Hus, the asymmetry dependence which was formed by asymmetric is more common and widely, network power relations were greater, the possibility of political organization, super tribal alliance was bigger, the ability of obtained resources was stronger too. After the immigrated, the resources and the demonstration was rewarded to the five Hus and theirs chieves by the Central Plains Dynasty which maintained crowd vassal relationship with others nomadism. So the leader’s authority in the tribal relied on the Central Plains resource supply and demonstration. Because of the more resource dependent on the agriculture society, the more independent ability of the immigrated five Hus were decreased. After the decline of the Western Jin, the public functions such as the maintain of the internal and the external boundary were instead of by the Sixteen Kingdoms for ensure the production and distribution of the most basic of agricultural resources orderly. By the alternating domination which were the nomadic world’the strong ascended the throne’ and ’the stronger strive for the throne’ power generation principle, the Hu regime were difficult to obtain the agriculture social resources and lead the northern farming society for a long time. On the early Northern Wei Dynasty, the mess which was caused by’the stronger strive for the throne’ were curbed by the measures such as ’discrete tribal’,’the noble child’s mother was died’. The Power orderly substitution created conditions for obtained the stable agricultural resources,and the implementation of a series of comprehensive docking with the farming community restructuring measures in Taihe period smoothly to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because of the farming area reform ignored the six town system, The Northern Wei Dynasty eventually collapsed by six town’s civil strife. In late Northern Dynasties, the Eastern Wei, the Northern Qi, the Western Wei, the Northern Zhou Dynasty continued to promote the equally dividing field system which was fitted for agricultural world and ensure the stable supply of living resources. Different from the Northern Wei Dynasty is, the soldiers of the Western Wei and the Northern Qi Dynasty losed their function for natural aging and war, and resource production and distribution pattern which is the soldiers were come from the Hus and the farmer were come from the Chinese were broken, then with the establishment of the mansion army system, the Northern Zhou,the Sui regime gained more inclusive interest on the farming resources, and the new era came again.The conclution is obtained from the study of the combination of the seeking resources and the changing of the five Hus organizational structures, that is farming community resources is the main resource which was dependented by Hu and Han ethnic, in acquiring these resources, Hu and Han ethnic processed from the fierce battle to form encompassing interest,and it determined governance from division to unity, from chaotic to orderly in three hundred years of China. In short, when resource dependence production and distribution pattern in the Yellow River, the Yangtze River between Hu and Han ethnic,was fully operated in accordance with the laws of the agricultural society, the unification of the country will be inevitable.
