The Western Wei Dynasty (535-556) was a separatist regime in China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Yu Wentai made Sun Yuanbao, the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen of Wei Dynasty, the emperor, with the title of "Dawei", opposite to the Eastern Wei and Nanliang controlled by Gao Huan, with its capital in Chang 'an (now the site of Chang 'an City). Political power is really in Yu Wentai's hands. It was replaced by the Northern Zhou Dynasty in 557, and experienced two generations of san huang, which lasted for 22 years.
In 535, after Yu Wentai poisoned Emperor Xiu Yuan of Wei Xiaowu, he set up Wang Yuanbao House in Nanyang, the grandson of Emperor Wei Xiaowen, and changed to the Yuan Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty began. In 55 1 year, Yuanbaoju died and his eldest son Qin Yuan succeeded to the throne. Qin Yuan was abandoned by Yu Wentai in 554 and was poisoned soon. Yuan Kuo, the fourth son of Yuanbaoju, ascended the throne, which was called the first year. In order to cater to the Hu Hua movement in Yu Wentai, he was forced to change his surname to Tuoba. In the third year of Gong Wei (556), Yu Wentai died of illness and was succeeded by his nephew Yuwen Hu. In 557, with the support of general Yu Wenzhu, Gong Wei was forced to surrender to Yu Wenjue, and the Western Wei Dynasty perished.
Throughout the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai, the powerful minister, always held the political power. With his efforts, he appointed Su Chuo and others to carry out reforms and adopted the strategy of attacking the south from the north, which further strengthened the Western Wei Dynasty. Even attacked Chengdu and Nanliang, and seized the territory of Jingyang and Xichuan in the Southern Dynasties. The northern economy gradually recovered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Eastern Wei army was defeated in World War III, which laid the foundation for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to unify northern China and the Sui Dynasty to unify China.
During the Western Wei Dynasty, the society was relatively stable and the national strength became stronger and stronger, which effectively resisted the repeated attacks of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Moreover, in the second year of the emperor's abolition (553), he obtained the Shu land of Nanliang and won Jiangling the following year. At the beginning of 557, Yu Wenxuan abolished Emperor Gong Wei and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
