Abstract

The reasons of Emperor Xiaowen moving the capital to Luoyang not only involves some objective factors: political,military and national integration factors,but also involves Emperor Xiaowen's subjective factors: his fascination with Chinese culture,his strategy to take over the south,his pursuit of the orthodox position and his personal life experience and emotions.The moving and the assimilation by the Han both speeded up the national integration of Xianbei people and the Han people and also to some extent caused the polarization between the group who moved to Luoyang and the conservative group of Heng and Dai.And the continuous weakening of the group who had moved to the South accelerated the weakening of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
