Hello everyone, I am a me who does not eat coriander
There are many historical records in ancient books, among which the national name "Jin" is very popular in history, not only appears many times in the title of king, but also many countries have used "Jin" as the national name. As a strong country, why doesn't the Jin Kingdom have its own "Wind"? In fact, "Tang Feng" is "Jin Feng".
Tang Yao Yushun's country was called "Tang", which means "great and mighty", which was in line with Emperor Yao's style of governance. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin has always been a strong country, and even if the "Quwo Dai Yi" incident occurred, the strength of the State of Jin was not low, but more powerful. Therefore, the national name "Jin" is more popular.
During the founding period, the name of Dingguo was directly related to his birthplace and historical origin, and after Wei, a dynasty suitable for using "Jin" as the national name appeared, that is, the Jin dynasty established by Sima Yi and his descendants. Why did Sima Zhao make the Wei emperor Cao Xin the Duke of Jin and eventually set the state name of the new dynasty as Jin? The answer may lie in Sima Zhao's identity and the region he is in.
Before he was crowned Duke of Jin, Sima Zhao's title was Marquis of Gaodu, in Jincheng, Shanxi, which was also the territory of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Sima Zhao forced the Wei emperor Cao Xin to be made the Duke of Jin, the determination of the state name did not seem to be surprising, after all, the Jin state included Hedong and Pingyang Eight Counties of Sizhou, as well as Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Leping, Xinxing, Yanmen and other places in Hezhou, most of which were also the territory of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Therefore, Sima Zhao's naming of the state as Jin can be said to indicate to some extent that the territory he ruled was related to the Jin state. In 265, Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan deposed the Wei Yuan emperor Cao Huan and established the Jin Empire. Over the next decade, the Western Jin Dynasty ruled the country and achieved great unification. Despite this, the reign of the Western Jin Dynasty was relatively short, less than a decade.
However, the legal system of the Jin Dynasty continued until the hands of Sima Rui, the Yuan Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty favored Jiangdong, but it had a strong legal status. In the eyes of Former Liang, Cheng Han and other countries, the legitimacy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also half-covered by the pipa, and it was still recognized on the surface. However, for the great powers of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, they generally did not recognize the legitimacy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. For example, Former Yan, Former Qin, and Northern Wei.
When Murong Jun, the emperor of Former Yan who entered the Central Plains, was dying, he said that "Erkou has not been eliminated", referring to Former Qin and Eastern Jin. The Northern Wei Dynasty, which unified the north after Former Qin, only recognized the Western Jin Dynasty and did not recognize the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Book of Wei written by Northern Qi Wei refers to the Eastern Jin Dynasty established by Sima Rui as "Xuan Jin", referring to its illegal existence.
In 420, Liu Yu forced Sima Dewen to give him half of the Jin Dynasty and establish the Great Song Dynasty, known historically as the Liu Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, no country designated the state as Jin, and the closer was Northern Qi. The reason why Gao Huan named the country Qi was because if he wanted to win people's hearts and stand the door, he had to admit that he was the queen of the Bohai Gao clan, and the land of the Bohai Sea belonged to the Qi state in ancient times.
Northern Qi (including Eastern Wei) actually had two ruling centers, one in Ye and one in Jinyang. Relatively speaking, Jinyang was the military capital of Northern Qi, and Northern Qi could also call itself Jin. Li Yuan, the founding king of the Tang Dynasty, raised troops from Jinyang, why didn't he decide on the name of the country Jin? Li Yuan's father was the Duke of Tang of Northern Zhou, and Tang was already deeply entrenched in the Li clan.
In short, Sima Zhaoding the state was called Jin, perhaps because he was in the territory of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the territory he ruled was related to the Jin state. In the history of the Jin Dynasty, the continuation of the legal system also played a certain role. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although no state was designated as Jin, the establishment of Northern Qi may be related to Sima Zhao.
The Jin Kingdom appeared during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, but there was not only one. In 883, Li Keyong of Shatuo was made an envoy of Hedong Jiedu by the Tang Dynasty, ruling the area around present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi, after which Li Keyong was made King of Jin for his merits in eradicating Huangchao. However, due to the control of the Central Plains by Zhu Wen, Li Keyong was confined to Shanxi and difficult to develop.
The Later Liang established by Zhu Wen is one of the five dynasties, and the Jin state used by Li Keyong can only be regarded as a state, not among the five dynasties. After Li Cunxuan succeeded to the throne, he continued to annex Later Liang territory, but he remained only King of Jin until he established Later Tang in 923. The rivers and mountains laid down by Li Ke's father and son were bounded by 923, later called Later Tang, and previously called the State of Jin. The Kingdom of Li and Jin can be regarded as the predecessor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty.
Next is the Later Jin Dynasty established by Shi Jingxuan, Shi Jingyao determined that the state name is Jin, mainly for the following four reasons: First, the surname of the Spring and Autumn Jin State is Ji, and Shi Jingxuan's distant ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Weiguo Dafu Shi Ji (the inventor of the idiom "Great Righteousness and Annihilation of Relatives") is also after the surname Ji. Second, Jin is one of the five hegemons of Spring and Autumn, and Sima Jin unifies the world, and the reputation of the "Jin" national name is relatively high.
Third, Shi Jingyu followed Li Cunxuan the King of Jin with his capital in Taiyuan from his father Shi Shaoyong, and the bureaucracy of the Later Jin Dynasty directly inherited the Li clan of the Jin state (the predecessor of the Later Tang Dynasty). 4. Shi Jingyu served as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu in Taiyuan, where he was located, and it was the land of the Kuching Kingdom and the Li Clan Jin Kingdom.
In 936, in order to overthrow the late Tang emperor Li Congke, Shi Jingyu betrayed the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun south of the Yanshan Mountain Range, leaving the Northern Song Dynasty without danger, and he even recognized the Khitan emperor Yelud Guang, who was 11 years younger than him, as his godfather. Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty cursed in the "New History of the Five Dynasties", calling the Jin incident ugly.
