They invaded Northern China and conquered the region of Shanxi, establishing their capital in Pingcheng (present-day Datong), taking the ancient name of Wei. They shortly conquered the territories in North-Eastern China, and by 439 they had united the entire North of China, stabilising the economy of the empire. As Buddhists, hey had a cultural contribution to Buddhist art, as well as in building fortifications. Wei dynasty ended in 535. This terracotta soldier is a symbol of military power, representative for this ruling dynasty.
