Wei and Jin

     During the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern dynasties, China struggled between long-term division and temporary unification. To survive the wars, the Han people migrated across the Yangtze River to the south. This period became an important stage of the great integration between the northern and southern people. Influenced by the “left lapel” tradition in the Hu culture, a new style of lapel called “opposite lapel” appeared and became popular in the Central Plains as a compromise.
