The Study Of Reassume Office In The Song Dynasty

The system of reinstatement was a stopgap measure implemented by rulers to consolidate their rule,and was derived from the system of dingxi.It was derived from the system of "sorrow".The so-called "reinstatement" meant that an official who was relieved of his duties during the period of mourning was taken away by an imperial edict,which caused the official to rejoin the court and continue to serve the country.The official’s reinstatement is not a unique phenomenon of the Song Dynasty,but has emerged since the pre-Qin period,from the initial Jin Ge to take away the emotions,that is,due to the needs of military war,military officials were forced to ’ink mourning and politics’,and then with the continuous development,the scope of reinstatement is also gradually expanding,civil and military officials are edict to reinstatement for various reasons,the government on the official’s reinstatement The government also had more strict regulations on the officials’ resumption.The ruler of Song Dynasty,on the basis of the previous generation’s system of taking back the situation,further developed the system of official’s reinstatement according to his own national conditions,which was mainly reflected in the adjustment of policies in various periods from Taizu to Zhenzong,from Renzong to Ningzong Dynasty,and with Renzong Dynasty as the turning point,the scope of reinstatement was gradually narrowed and the scope of dingzong was gradually expanded,and non-military military officials could also choose to dingzong.The reason for the officials to be reinstated was not only because of the military,but also because of their professions and personal talents.However,unlike the Tang dynasty,different classes of officials in the Song dynasty had different titles of reinstatement and clearly defined hierarchical divisions of reinstatement,leave,and postponement,but the actual implementation was slightly different.In order to make the officials comply with the requirements of etiquette and law,they had to follow certain procedures and taboos when they were reinstated,and they had to dress according to the rules of etiquette when they entered the court and when they were at home.The legality of seeking reinstatement means that the officials who were not included in the reinstatement were granted by the emperor through some means,that is,they still had to seek reinstatement by the emperor’s edict in order to finally achieve the purpose of their own reinstatement.The frequent implementation of the Song Dynasty rulers,on the one hand,affected the normal classification and promotion of officials,most of whom were often promoted,but the impact of the officials on their own career,so that the phenomenon of seeking reinstatement and avoiding holding the service was also more common,and the rituals of the time and the culture of the court to practice filial piety was also impacted.At the same time,the system was also used by the political struggles of the Song Dynasty parties,and to some extent it became a catalyst for political struggles.Although the system of resumption induced many officials to seek resumption,the frequent implementation of resumption also made many officials in the dynasty pay more attention to the transmission of filial piety and express their opinions on the implementation of resumption of officials,and they submitted a petition requesting that the final mourning clothes of officials who did not have to resumption be held.The system has two sides.
