Study On The Choice Of "Loyalty" By Liao Shijin Officials Group

When the Liao and Jin Dynasties changed,the group of officials who had served in the Liao Dynasty had to rethink the future political path.In the complex situation of multiple political powers,few officials in the end of Liao Dynasty swore to adhere to the Liao country.Their choices were more diversified.Some went south to the Song Dynasty,while others took their own steps to become kings.However,more people chose to abandon Liao.Later generations criticized the officials of Liao Shijin,thinking that it was a "shameless" act to abandon the Liao Kingdom and return to the Jurchen.However,from the perspective of the group of Liao Shijin officials,the originally loyal Liao country It no longer exists and it is not realistic to require them all to be loyal to the Liao State.On the issue of loyalty in the Liao Dynasty,most scholars often agree that the concept of "loyalty" promoted by the Confucianism in the Liao Dynasty has been fully popularized and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.However,this is subjective to a certain extent,and it has neglected Liao as a nation of northern ethnic power The peculiarities are not consistent with objective historical facts.Most of the officials in the end of Liao Dynasty were loyal to the loyalty after Shi Jin.Among them,the Bohai people relied on their ancestral relationships close to Jurchen people earlier.The Liao Shi Jin Bohai people’s "loyalty" consciousness differed,although they did not form a common value.Concepts,but this group did its best for the establishment and development of the Jin regime,and the different political orientations shown also reflected the multiple social systems in which Jin Chu coexisted.The Khitans and Tatars of the Liao Shijin played a pivotal role in the early Jin politics.They played an important role in the war between Jurchen and Liao and Song.The group originally serving as the ruling class of the Liao Kingdom after the Shi Jin The status has dropped significantly,and the obvious psychological gap has caused some people in this group to "change flags and change hands." Overall,the lack of "loyalty" in this group has made its political choices repetitive.Under the special historical,cultural and social background,the Han officials in the Liao Dynasty had a more flexible political attitude.Facing the military impact of Jurchens,they sought to protect themselves while protecting their political future,family future,and the interests of Yanyun people.Considering various aspects,the political choices made by him are more cautious and have certain “utility”.On the one hand,the Han people of Liao Shijin actively adapted to the social status of Jurchen to seek survival,and on the other hand,tortuously promoted the development of the Jin government under the rule of Jurchen from the tribal alliance to the country.
