Features: In the history of China, the regimes established by ethnic minorities such as the Northern Wei, Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Qing were an integral part of the Chinese nation. They made indelible contributions to the development of Chinese history and the prosperity of Chinese culture. The Liao and Jin, as regimes established by nomadic peoples, lasted for over four centuries and ruled the nomadic and fishing/hunting peoples of northern China, as well as the Han and Bohai people in the Liaodong and Yan Yun regions. They established a dual political and economic system distinct from both the Han and nomadic ethnic groups, creatively advancing the course of Chinese history. This demonstrates that the ethnic history of the Liao and Jin periods is a crucial area of study, particularly their historical status and role, which are the key focus of our research. The content of this book strives to give readers a sense of "novelty" and "substance," while maintaining an objective, scientific, and rigorous writing style throughout.
