Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Hui of Jin - Reign

During his 17 year reign, Emperor Hui would come under the control of a number of regents, never being able to assert authority on his own. The rough succession order of the regents were: Yang Jun: 290-291 Sima Liang/Wei Guan: 291 Empress Jia Nanfeng: 291-300 Sima Lun: 300-301 Sima Jiong: 301-302 Sima Ai: 302-304 Sima Ying: 304 Sima Yong: 304-306 Sima Yue: 306-307 Empe ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Fei of Jin - Reign

Even though Emperor Fei was an adult, he did not have actual power, as not only were governmental matters largely in the hands of his granduncle Sima Yu the Prince of Kuaiji, but Sima Yu himself was not fully able to make decisions, as the paramount general Huan Wen imposed many of his own decisions on the imperial government, which had no choice but to accept. Immediately after Emperor Fei took the throne, the important city Luoyang (which had served as Jin's capital early in the dynasty's history) fell to Former Yan, because Emperor Ai's death pre ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Sanguo Zhi - Sanguo Zhi as historical record

The romantic and historical traditions of Three Kingdoms have been so confused in the centuries after the period that the Sanguo Zhi is an invaluable resource. Its information, although full of errors itself, is nevertheless much more accurate than the embellishments of later writers. Many of the political, economic and military figures of the Three Kingdoms are included in the work as well as those who contributed to the fields of culture, arts and science. In its nature the work is indeed a chronicle, much like those of early Mediev ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Huai of Jin - Reign

Emperor Huai was commonly regarded as an intelligent man, and he tried to institute reforms that he felt would allow the empire to recover from the ravages of the War of the Eight Princes and the subsequent Wu Hu and agrarian uprisings. However, Sima Yue maintained a tight grip on power and would not allow the emperor to exercise much actual authority. In spring 307, Emperor Huai created Sima Qin's brother (and therefore fellow son of Emperor Huai's brother Sima Yan (司馬晏) the Prince of Wu) Sima Quan (司馬詮) crown prince. (His apparent conclusion, at the young age of 23, that he should make a nephew his heir, may i ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Empress Jia Nanfeng - Early life and marriage to Crown Prince Zhong

Jia Nanfeng was born in 257, to the Jin official Jia Chong and his second wife Guo Huai (郭槐). She was their oldest daughter, although Jia Chong had two daughters with his first wife Lady Li prior to his marriage to Lady Guo. They would have one more daughter, Jia Wu (賈午), in 260. They also had two sons, both of whom died young. In 271, as Jia desperately wanted to avoid an assignment to lead an army against the Xianbei rebel Tufa Shujineng (禿髮樹機能), he decided to try to have his daughter married to Emperor Wu's develo ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - History of Macau - Portuguese settlement

Macau did not develop as a major settlement until the Portuguese arrived in the 16th century. Having established themselves at Goa in 1510 and Malacca in 1511, the first Portuguese arrived on the China coast in 1513 aboard a hired junk sailing from Malacca. They landed on Lintin Island in the Zhujiang (Pearl River) estuary and erected a stone marker claiming the island for the king of Portugal. When Portuguese fleets arrived in the vicinity of Haojing'ao in 1517 and 1518, Chinese officials expressed displeasure over violations of China's sov ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Hakka - Prominent Hakkas

The Hakkas have had a disproportionate influence on the course of Chinese and Overseas Chinese history particularly in the field of revolutionary and political leaders. This continues to be true in modern Chinese history where some of the most prominent Chinese leaders have been Hakkas. In the 1980s-90s, the Hakkas had the unique distinction of having all three political heavyweights of all three Chinese-led countries Hakkas at the same time: People's Republic of China's Deng Xiaoping, Republic of China's ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Sima Ying - After overthrowing Sima Lun

Some thought that a power balance that Emperor Wu had hoped for at his death might be restored, as Princes Jiong and Ying were each given regent titles (and awarded the nine bestowments, in one rare case where the nine bestowments were not signs of an impending usurpation, although Prince Ying declined the bestowments), and many talented officials were promoted into important positions. However, the Princes Jiong and Ying were actually apprehensive of each other's power, and Prince Ying decided to yield the central government regency to Prin ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Sima Yong - Participation in various campaigns during the War of the Eight Princes

When Emperor Hui's throne was usurped by Sima Lun the Prince of Zhao in 301, Sima Jiong the Prince of Qi (Emperor Hui's cousin) started a rebellion to restore Emperor Hui. Initially, Sima Yong sent his general Zhang Fang (張方) to support Sima Lun, but once he heard that Sima Jiong and his ally, Sima Ying the Prince of Chengdu (Emperor Hui's brother) had overwhelming force, he switched side and declared for the rebels. After Princes Jiong and Ying defeated and killed Sima Lun, Prince Jiong became regent and he, while angry at Sima Yong for initially suppo ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Jia Chong - Family life

Jia's first wife Lady Li was a daughter of Li Feng (李豐), who was suspected by Sima Shi to have conspired with the emperor Cao Fang in 254 and executed. By that point, Lady Li had borne Jia two daughters -- Jia Bao (賈褒) and Jia Yu (賈裕). Because Jia wanted to show his loyalty to Sima Shi, he divorced Lady Li, who was exiled. He then married Guo Huai (郭槐), who bore him two daughters as well -- Jia Nanfeng and Jia Wu (賈午). She also bore him a son, Jia Limin (賈黎民) -- but her unusual jealousy and cruelty would doom her so ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Wang Dun - First campaign against the Jin imperial government

Seeing Wang Dun's ambition, Emperor Yuan began to fear him, and he began to group men around him who were against Wang Dun as well, such as Liu Huai (劉隗) and Diao Xie (刁協) -- men of mixed reputation who, in their efforts to suppress the Wangs' power offended many other people. He also reduced the roles that Wang Dun's relatives, including Wang Dao, had in his government, which angered Wang Dun further. Wang Dun was further encouraged by his assistants Qian Feng (錢鳳) and Shen Chong (沈充), both of whom persuaded him to plan a mi ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Yantai - History

The region was inhabited by the non-Han people of the Eastern Yi (東夷), who were believed to have established a small state during the Xia Dynasty on the site of present-day Laizhou City. It became a feudal state call Lai (萊國) until the Warring States Period, when it was annexed by the State of Qi. During the Qin Dynasty, Yantai belonged to the Qi Prefecture, later renamed Donglai Prefecture (東萊郡) during the Han Dynasty. The area was known as the Donglai Kingdom during the Jin Dynasty (265-420) but later returned to prefecture s ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Ai of Jin - Reign

In 361, Emperor Mu died without a son. Emperor Mu's mother Empress Dowager Chu thus ordered that Sima Pi be made emperor, and he took the throne as Emperor Ai, at age 20. He created his wife Princess Wang as empress, and his brother Sima Yi, who previously carried the title the Prince of Donghai, as the Prince of Langye. Since he was an adult, Empress Dowager Chu did not serve as regent for him, and he honored his mother Consort Zhou as Consort Dowager (皇太妃) in 362, but with supplies and ceremonies similar to the empress dowager. However, the decision-making process was largely in the hands of the general Huan Wen and Emperor Ai ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Wu of Jin - Early reign: establishment of the Jin political system

Emperor Wu immediately sought to change what he saw as what doomed Cao Wei -- the lack of power that the imperial princes held. In 265, immediately after he took the throne, he created many of his uncles, cousins, brothers, and sons as imperial princes, each with independent military commands and full authority within their principalities. This system, while it would be scaled back after the War of the Eight Princes and the loss of northern China, would remain in place as a Jin institution for the duration of ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Cheng of Jin - Reign

Emperor Cheng of Jin - Yu Liang's regency. Initially, the officials were in charge together, but as Empress Dowager Yu became regent, Yu Liang became effectively the most powerful official in the administration. He changed from the lenient policies of Wang (who was prime minister during Emperor Ming's reign) to stricter applications of laws and regulations, which offended the officials accustomed to Wang's lenience. Further, he became apprehensive of the generals Tao Kan and Zu Yue (祖約) -- neither of whom was ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Han Zhao - The Condition of the Xiongnu in Northern China and their uprising

By the 280s, a huge number (approximately 400,000) of Xiongnu herdsmen resided in the Ordos Desert and the Bing province, a political division including modern-day areas of the whole Shanxi province, southwestern part of Inner Mongolia and eastern part of Shaanxi province, after Cao Cao moved them there and split them into "five departments" (五部, pinyin Wǔbù) These Xiongnu seemed to substantially chang ...

Due to Emperor Mu's young age, his mother Empress Dowager Chu became the ruling authority at court and served as regent, although she largely followed the advice of He Chong and Sima Yu the Prince of Kuaiji, who served as co-prime ministers. (Sima Yu took that position after Empress Dowager Chu's father, Chu Pou (褚裒), declined.) After He Chong's death in 346, his role was taken by Cai Mo (蔡謨). In 345, after Yu Yi, who had served as the commander of military forces in the western provinces (roughly covering modern Hubei, Hunan, ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Empress Yang Zhi - Marriage to Emperor Wu and life as empress

Not much is known about Yang Zhi's life before she married Emperor Wu. Before Empress Yang Yan died in 274, she was fearful that whoever became empress next would undermine her developmentally-disabled son Crown Prince Zhong's position as crown prince, and therefore she asked Emperor Wu to marry her cousin Yang Zhi after her death. Emperor Wu agreed and, in 276, married Yang Zhi and created her empress. Her father Yang ...

Jin Dynasty (265-420): Encyclopedia II - Emperor Ming of Jin - Reign

One of the first things that Emperor Ming did was locating his birth mother Lady Xun, putting her in a mansion, and creating her the Lady of Jian'an. However, perhaps out of respect for his deceased stepmother Princess Yu (who had died in 312 but was posthumously honored as an empress), he never gave her an empress dowager title -- and Emperor Ming honored Princess Yu's family as appropriately he would a mother's family -- and he was particularly close to Princess Yu's brother Yu Yin (虞胤). A few months later, Lady Xun moved into the palace. Emperor Ming also ...
