chen dynasty

Chen Dynasty 陳朝 (557-589) was the fourth and the last of Southern dynasties in China, eliminated by the Sui Dynasty. This dynasty had very little changes of survival. The devestation of the last years of the Liang Dynasty severely crippled the Chen Dynasty. The lastof the Emperors, Hou Zhou, has been described as 'drunk, dissolute, neglectful of the Great Spirits of Heaven and His Ancestors, addicted to foolish superstition and surrounded by worthless companions.' The Sui distributed pamphlets on his faults causing the population to revolt. He tried to hide with two concubines in a well but was found. Yang Jian spared him however to keep the empire unified.
