The Spring and Autumn Jin Dynasty Six Qing originated from the Duke Wen of Jin, and in 633 BC the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Chu state of Cao Wei (this is the outpost of the Battle of Chengpu), so the three armies of the upper, middle and lower levels were set up. Each army general has one each, and the highest status is the Chinese general, that is, Zhengqing; the second is Zhongjun Zuo, that is, Yaqing; and the rest are subordinate to the subordinate secretaries. According to the principle of "making up for the long death", the secretaries of state take turns to govern. This is the three-army and six-secretary system that maintains the stability of the Jin Dynasty.
In its heyday, the Jin Dynasty had set up six armies and twelve secretaries, which was already the wang's army formation. The Zhou Li says: "The army of the mortals ..., the sixth army of the king, the three armies of the big country, the second army of the sub-country, and the first army of the small country." "Later Liuqing was controlled by the six families of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and the Bank of China, so Liuqing gradually referred to these six families.
Four of the six Qing were descendants of the Zhou Dynasty. The Wei clan originated from Bi Gong, the 15th son of Ji Chang the King of Zhou, the Zhi clan and the Zhongxing clan originated from Ji Chang's 16th son Yuan Uncle, and the Han clan was descended from Ji Chang's second son Ji Fa along with the Jin monarchs.
1． Han's
2． Wei's
3． Zhao Shi
The Zhao clan and the Monarch of the Qin State originally belonged to the same lineage. It is said that a descendant of emperor Huan was a nun named Nun who swallowed the eggs of the xuan bird and gave birth to a great cause, which was the ancestor of Qin Zhao. During the time of his father-making, he was given the place name of Zhao Cheng (Hongdong, Shanxi) for his merits (the father-made father had driven Wang Cheri thousands of miles to help King Mu of Zhou quickly return to Beijing and quell the rebellion). Subsequently, his nephew Feizi was also given the title of Qin Land to Protect the West, and later became Qin.
4． Fan's
The Fan clan of the Jin dynasty began with Uncle Xí, who fled to the Jin state because his father Du Bo was wrongfully killed by King Xuan of Zhou, and took the post of a scholar (in charge of punishment), and his descendants took the official position as their clan. His great-grandson Shihui was given the title of Fan Yi (范武子), the ancestor of the Fan clan of the Jin dynasty, while the second son of the Shihui shihui (士会士雃雃) still lived in Qin after seven years of exile in the Qin state, and became Liu Shi (劉氏), the ancestor of Han Gao, and Liu Bang ( 劉劉), the ancestor of Han Gao.
5． Mr. Háng, Mr. Satoshi Nakagyo
The Jin Dynasty Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan are both out of Xunxi. Xun Xi was originally known as Yuan Huang àn, and because he was enfeoffed with Xun Yi, he was given the place name of The Clan, and he once offered a false Dao, and was a heavy subject of the Humerus of the Jin Dynasty. His son Xun Died Ao had three sons: the eldest son Xun Lin's father, Wen Gongzuo Sanxing (three infantry units) served as a lieutenant general during the Imperial Rong, so he took the official position as a clan (中行桓子); the second son Xun Xiaoshi was called Cheng Wenzi (程文子), the ancestor of the Cheng clan of the Jin dynasty; the younger son Xun Shou was enfeoffed with Zhiyi (northwest of Yongji, Shanxi), with the place name of the clan, and the Clan of the Zhi clan of the Jin State originated from this.
6． Extinction of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan
The fuse for the collapse of the Fan and Zhongxing clans was the infighting of the Zhao clan. When the lord of the Zhao clan was Zhao Martin, the Zhao clan had another branch in Handan, and the ruler was Zhao Wu. The first to seal Handan was Zhao Chuan, who should be the nephew of Zhao Wan, who had been in exile with Zhong'er for 19 years.
In 497 BC, Zhao Martin and Zhao Wu agreed to relocate the 500 families who had paid tribute to the Wei state and settled in Handan to Jinyang (present-day Taiyuan). Later, because his father and brother did not agree, Zhao Wu broke the contract, and Zhao Martin was arrested and killed. This move directly prompted Zhao Wu's son Zhao Ji to occupy Handan and rebel.
What was not expected was that a family infighting between the Zhao clan and the small clan actually led to a nationwide civil unrest in which Liu Qing was vying for power and profit. Zhao Wu was the nephew of ZhongxingYin, and Zhongxingyin was the marriage of Fan Ji, and the Zhongxing and Fan clans conspired to fight against Zhao Martin, while the Zhi, Han, and Wei families had a vendetta against Fan and Zhongxing, so they used the orders of the Jin Emperor to destroy both. The infighting among the Qing clan, which affected the whole territory of Jin, broke out completely, directly prompting the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan to withdraw from the stage of history. However, due to the intervention of Qi Zheng and other states, it took the Jin Dynasty seven years (497-490 BC) to completely quell the civil unrest.
7． The Chi clan was destroyed
In 475 BC, the lord of the Zhi clan, Zhi Yao, was appointed as zhengqing and took charge of the imperial government, and his threat to the Jin dynasty to make the secretaries of state was awe-inspiring. Later, Zhi Yao asked Zhao for the county of Ten Thousand Households, but Zhao Xiangzi did not give it, so Zhi Yao joined forces with Han and Wei to besiege Jinyang and divert fenshui to flood his city. The city wall is only six feet left to be submerged, and Jinyang City can be described as precarious.
At this time, Zhi Yao, who was full of pride, said: I didn't know that the river could destroy the city of others. Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi, who were standing nearby, were very frightened when they heard this, because Han Pingyang and Wei Anyi were both on the verge of the river. Later, the Zhao clan sent envoys to privately meet Han and Wei, and persuaded them to turn against them with the principle of cold lips and teeth, so the three families rebelled against the Zhi clan and shared their land. Zhao Xiangzi even made Zhi Yao's head into a drinking vessel. The Zhi clan collapsed, and only Zhi Guo was saved by changing to the Fu clan.
Sima Guang's discussion of Zhi Yao's demise, saying that talent surpassed virtue, should be to the point. If the Zhao clan is destroyed, then the Zhi clan should monopolize the Jin state, and imagine what will be the result of the Qin state that dominates the Western Rong on the road from the central plains in the east to face the complete Jin state?
After the three families were destroyed, the Jin Dynasty became more and more weak, and instead wanted to meet the lords of the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei, and only the cities under their direct jurisdiction were Qicheng and Quwo. In 403 BC, King Weilie of Zhou officially enfeoffed Han, Zhao, and Wei as princes, and the Warring States began.
