Answer

Upon the establishment of Cao Wei, China transitioned from the Eastern Han dynasty to the Six Dynasties period, which lasted from the 3rd to the 6th century AD. This tumultuous era was characterized by political fragmentation, foreign invasions, and the rise of powerful warlords. The Western Jin dynasty briefly reunified China in the 3rd century, but it soon collapsed, leading to the division of the country into multiple kingdoms.
