The development of bibliogony has profound significance to the cultural education, hanzifying to Jurchen and the emergence of publishing industry for Yuan dynasty.It is the first time to research Jin's publishing from the point of view of communication studies. Compiling, imprinting and circulation are three segments which make book publishing a whole process. And the segments are inter-constrained and they can enhance each other. Some research by predecessors was just from some one aspect and dissevered the relationship among each segment, so they can not understand Jin's publishing objectively. This dissertation specified the overall features of Jin's bibliogony and revealed the affinity of each other. The writer hold the opinion that the productive fruit of Jin's bibliogony offered materials for book publishing and the proofreading, writing preface and other compilatory work made quality guarantee and propaganda for books circulation.

So we conclude the segments for compiling, imprinting and circulation have increased each other and developed together to make the prosperous condition of Jin's book publishing.This dissertation discusses Jin Empire's identification towards the Chinese nation as one of the minority regime from the point of view of bibliogony. After the establishment of Jin Empire, the emperor carried out hanzifying policies with Confucianism. One purpose was absorbed the advanced culture of Han people, the other purpose was to show its orthodox position to the people who were dominated. That is to say, Emperor of Jin always considered that Jurchen were members of Chinese nation, and the regime they established shouldn't be considered as manyi regime. Just with this idea Jin's Emperors held positive attitude to support the development of bibliogony. By printing amount of books with Confucianism ideas from governmental and nongovernmental publishing business and organizations, some Chinese classical work were translated into Jurchen script, therefore Han's culture could be spread among Jurchen. The emperors used the function of book publishing to study and spread Chinese culture, which showed their identification to Chinese nation and also showed they admitted they were part of Chinese.
