The Dynasties That Shaped China Part 3

Part 3 of The Dynasties That Shaped China explores a time of division and transformation. During the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China experienced intense warfare, political fragmentation, and spiritual awakening. Yet from this disunity emerged powerful cultural shifts: the rise of Buddhism, the spread of Daoism, and the foundations of Chinese martial arts. This era saw the birth of the legendary Shaolin Temple and the evolution of religious and military traditions that would shape China’s spiritual and martial identity for centuries to come.
