Study On Knighted Regime Of Jin Dynasty

The purpose of this paper is to explore the internal structure of the knighted regime of Jin Dynasty and changes from Western to Eastern Jin’s development, noting that how the Jue System of Jin Dynasty influence the ancient Chinese system and what its status is. Academic circles have paid much attention to the Wei and Jin’s Jue System, and discussed its important position in Chinese history of Jue System. However, in terms of the internal structure, the development and changes of Jin’s Jue System, the number of monograph is small. Therefore, this research still is of significance. Firstly, the relevant historical materials on Wang Jue, conferring titles on persons owning different surnames, commonly increasing titles and CiJue during the period of Jin are sorted out by the use of empirical methods; then analyze the problem according to the subtle changes from Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Western through analysis and comparison; finally, in accordance with the theory from the history, figure out the Jin’s Jue system, especially the Eastern Jin’s Jue System regarded as a landmark in Chinese history. The following conclusions have been drawn after the study:Chinese ancient feudal system started to become mature from the Eastern Jin’s Wang Jue, and since then it was adopted from dynasty to dynasty. Conferring titles on persons having different surnames was based on LieHou during the Western Jin Dynasty, just like in the Han Dynasty, while it was based on five-class System in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The establishment of the five-class Jue System, one of Jue System made in Chinese history, in the upcoming Western Jin, marked a change in the Jue System from LieHou to five-class System; and this qualitative transition period is in the Eastern Jin Dynasty when the number of five-class Jue System first exceeded LieHou; this transformation was completed in the Sui and Tang Dynasty in which five-class Jue System completely replaced the system of LieHou. "Conferring titles on common people" occurring in Western Han Dynasty, gradually developed into "conferring titles upon both civil officials and military officers" in the Jin Dynasty. "Conferring titles on common people" occurred only twice during the Western Jin Dynasty; while"conferring titles upon both civil officials and military officers" happened during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The reason of this phenomenon is that the rulers’ social class constitution of the Jin is quite different from Western Han Dynasty but similar to Eastern Han Dynasty. The establishment of the party politics was supported by the rulers born with a silver spoon in their mouths in the Western Jin Dynasty and noble families in Nan and Bei Dynasty. This fully embodies that the party politics is quite closed and exclusive, thus leading to the relative monopoly. Based on the above statements, we can draw the following conclusions: Wang Jue, conferring titles on persons having different surnames and conferring titles on common people underwent a significant transformation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Wei and Jin dynasties were major transformation periods in ancient China’s Jue system. And the Western Jin is a boundary line; while the Eastern Jin is a qualitative period during which ancient China’s Jue System started to become mature.
