re-unified

After the fall of the Han dynasty of China in 220.
China was became the era of the Three Kingdoms.

This was the beginning of a long period of division of China.

Only one time,the Jin dynasty unified China. (晋)
But this dynasty was destroyed immediately. (265~316AD)
 
The Jin dynasty survived as dynasty of China Southern. (317~420AD)
However,they were not able to re-unified of China. 
 
The first half of the Jin dynasty is "the Western Jin". (西晋)
The second half of the Jin dynasty is "the Eastern Jin" (東晋)

The two called so to distinguish.

After all,the dynasty did re-unified the division of china in the end.
It was the Sui Dynasty. (隋) 
However, this dynasty also did not last long.
This dynasty was also destroyed immediately.(581~619AD)
 
China return to the era of the division again.
At this time,maybe there was also its possibility.

But the Tang Dynasty was founded in the confusion of destruction of Sui. (唐)
This Tang dynasty became one of the dynasty to represent China.

Imperial family of Tang and Sui was noble of the Northern Zhou dynasty of north China originally. (北周 557~581AD)
The Sui dynasty was born by destroying the Northern Zhou Dynasty. 
And Imperial family of Tang and Sui were inlaw.

One of the reasons why China did not the division again.
There may be a canal built by the Sui Dynasty.

China was split into North and South for a long time.
(However,development of China Southern began in earnest in this age of division.)
 
The Sui dynasty tied it by the canal.
Logistics of the North and South of China became one with this.

But of course this was a large construction by huge cost.
Burden of national expenditure of the Sui Dynasty was huge.
In other words,burden of the people of the Sui Dynasty was huge.
 
Emperor Yang is the second emperor of the Sui. (煬帝)
(He was the last emperor of the Sui.)
Besides this,it seems there was a lavish spending habit originally to him.
 
His era, the Sui faded rapidly.
