A straight sword will fly right off your hand if you try to slice a target with it on horseback at full gallop.

I am currently reading about the period of Chinese history between the collapse of the Late Han and the rise of the Sui (roughly 200-500 C.E.)

It's the period I know the least about, so I find it very interesting. There were so many different dynasties and peoples in China during that time.


Question to Chinese Members: What do Chinese history books teach about the Toba Empire that ruled North China in the 4th century C.E., and the Tibetan ruler Fu-chen, who forged an empire in the same area after the Toba weakened?

I find both polities of great interest, but there is so little information about them.

So you are covering the period between the Three Kingdoms and the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. It is known as the dark ages of China. While there was a great deal of cultural exchanges between China and her neighbors there were also chaos and war. Pretty grim times.
 
it is like europe after the fallen of west roman empire. But there was never a toba empire that took the northland.
 
Toba ruled north China, they did. we call them 鲜卑(xianbei) or 拓跋鲜卑(tuoba or toba xianbei). They created wei empire(we call it as beiwei/ North wei?). Finally, Wei was insteaded by Sui empire.
That period is a darkness and chao age. There were no law, freedom and justice etc , but blood, iron and death.

and the Tibetan ruler Fu-chen, who forged an empire in the same area after the Toba weakened?
I dont know who is this fu-chen. 苻坚(fu jian)?
