The Geographical Distribution of Talents in Shanxi Province During the Jin Dynasty
The geographical distribution and causes of Shanxi talents in Jin Dynasty have not been paid attention to or expressed in the regional history of Jin Dynasty.The Jin Dynasty ruled the north for more than a hundred years,completely reversed the economic and cultural decline of northern China since the late Tang Dynasty on the basis of Liao.Shanxi also entered a new period of economic devel-opment and cultural prosperity.In more than a hundred years,a large number of Shanxi scholars ascended the ranks,and various talents such as military,science and art emerged one after another.However,the geographical distribution of talents shows obvious imbalance in time,space,family and nationality.The combination of geographical environment,political development,cultural and educational re-sources and other factors in Jin Dynasty and before Jin Dynasty is an important reason for this distribution.
