The Marriage Of Yuwen's Families And The Politics Of Wei, Zhou, And Sui Dynasties

Yuwen Shi originated in eastern Liaoning, the descendants of the Huns South Chanyu. Starting from Yuwen Mohuai, it had gone through the Western Jin Dynasty, Five Barbarians 16 States, the Northern Wei Dynasty. To the beginning of the practice when Yuwen Ling settled in Wuchuan region and to the land as their place of origin. The family in this region gradually formed around a group marriage, and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the opportunities to take advantage of the rise of towns in the intifada. Power to Yuwen Tai Wu Chuanjun headed off in squads of elite groups.They crowned the last emperor Wei Xiao Wu Di capital in Changan, the establishment of Western Wei regime. Before and after, Yuwen Tai not only married Wei Xiaowu emperor's younger sister, but also let his sub-nephew and Yuan the Wei royal court marries.Yuwen Tai would like to adopt take-laws Yu Jin in the "Son of Heaven to the nobility of relying on" policy, the strength gradually from weak to strong. A wide range of marriages also existed between Yuwen family nade six towns military elite. which formed a military bloc with common interests.The group was later widely known as "Guanlong Group",whose various military, political,cultural policy was called "off the standard policy".The political marriage of Yu Wenshi was the key to this policy in part.,which might have played an important role in history.This marriage not only makd Yu Wenshi royal family have the effective control of Western Wei, but also achieved political power in the Western Wei absolute military power. The main features of the policy was marriages between Yuwen Shi and Xian Bei elite family were more than with Han Nobles.This was the reform of the Northern Wei Marriage made in some of the measures re-examination and revision, indeed adapted to the actual historical development. But this anti-marriage policy was not finished "history reactionary".On the contrary, subsequent history had proved, Western Wei, Northern Zhou various Wenzhiwugong basically conformd to the historical trend of localization.Yuwen Tai's successor, the implementation of this marriage of good policy, it was also strengthened with the Han Nobles, beyond the Great Wall of military aristocratic upper ethnic intermarriage. This tied through marriage with climbing, rope, Yuwen Shi-led "Guanlong Group" to further expand, and eventually exterminated the Northern Qi Dynasty in AD 577,the unification of North China.However, after the self-Yu Wen Yong, the family's gradual corruption, was much less its original initiative. Zhou Yuwen policy implemented gradually unwise marriages, reflected in the marriage was indiscriminately on individual preferences under the monarchy, the lack of overall political and military considerations, the final Yuwen Shi family was abandoned by Guanlong Group, by another family to continue to rule China.The roost rule of Yuwen Shi in North China started on Yuwen Tai's Guanzhong business through a marriage with Weixiao Wu's sister he's father since the late Northern Wei Dynasty,and ended in a usurpation by Zhou Xuand's father-in-law Yang Jian,although only a coincidence, but it should be a historical necessity.
