When Jin zhangzong was in office,it was the heyday of the Jin dynasty.At the same time that he inherited the government of sejong,Zhang Zong carried out a series of reforms and adjustments to the system of selecting officials of the Jin dynasty.This article takes this as an entry point to make a preliminary discussion on the system of selecting officials in the Jin Zhangzong period.The system of selecting officials in the Zhangzong period tends to be diversified,including the selection methods of selecting officials and supervisors.During the Jin Zhangzong period,the selection system was roughly divided into two stages.The first stage was the Mingchang period,and the second stage was the Chengan Taihe period.The two stages of the selection system had their own characteristics.The Mingchang period was generally a continuation of Sejong's policy.Cheng Antai and his years were Zhang Zong's selection system for the National conditions of Jin at that time.From the changes in the system of election of officials,it can be seen that the changes in the state of Jin at that time were the natural disasters and the extravagance of the ruling class,the decline of Meng Anke,the corruption of the bureaucracy of Jin Guo,and the constant resistance of the Khitan ministries;The exterior is Mongolian and Southern Song Dynasty.From the changes of the internal and external environment,we can explore the deep causes of the changes in the selection system.During the period of Zhangzong,the various systems of the Jin Dynasty were almost complete,the official system was more institutionalized,and the political feudal reforms had been completed.The official system was established and the imperial examinations were prepared.The Jin Dynasty reached its peak under the rule of Zhang Zong.Through the imperial examinations,the upper classes of various ethnic groups were absorbed into the ruling class of gold,which played a very important role in consolidating Jinzhengquan and transforming Jin from the Jurchen national regime to the landlord class ruling regime;The reform of martial arts led the Jurchens to regain the martial arts and consolidated the border defense.Through hereditary laws and other systems,they successfully appeased the Khitan who continued to resist.Through the military power system,Zhang Zong absorbed a large number of civilians who hadmilitary power into the ruling class and injected new blood into the gold bureaucratic system.Through the reform of Meng Jianke,he successfully restricted the privilege of the old nobles,reformed the national army,and to a certain extent eliminated the corruption of the army and strengthened national defense.The system of honest inspection punished a large number of corrupt officials and to a certain extent improved the corruption at that time.In the middle and late period of Zhang Zong's reign,various potential social problems were intensified.On the one hand,the contradiction between Hanization and Jurchen traditions,on the other hand,the expansion and corruption of bureaucratic groups and the continuous occurrence of natural disasters.The bureaucratic group of the Jin Dynasty was unprecedentedly expanded during the reign of Zhang Zong.Redundancy caused redundancy,which not only increased the financial burden,but also corrupted the overall quality of the bureaucratic system and placed a heavy financial burden on Jin Guo.At this time,due to the financial crisis in the country,the National situation has clearly declined.In terms of the criteria for selecting officials,Zhang Zong not only admired the civilization and official system of the Central Plains,but also wanted to regain the tradition of Jurchen and martial arts,which led to the double selection system.This paper focuses on the change of Zhang Zongchao's system of selecting officials,the historical reasons for the appearance of the method of selecting officials,and the social impact on Zhangzongzhao and the late Jin Dynasty.
