晋国 / Jin State

《资治通鉴·周纪》04|豫让 为智瑶复仇 adds the earlier de facto partition threshold. After 智瑶 loses at Jinyang, Han, Zhao, and Wei divide Zhi territory; the episode treats this 453 BCE point as a practical start of the 战国时期 while preserving later formal recognition and final extinction as separate layers in 三家分晋.

晋国 / Jin State appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢(2) through the comparison case of 晋幽公, whose death the episode reads through 《竹书纪年》. The state is also relevant to the source’s explanation of “秦晋之好,” the marriage-alliance idiom tied to 秦国 and Jin.

This page is source-scoped and does not duplicate the existing 晋文公 page; it provides a polity node for Jin-related ruler and marriage-alliance references.

《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(1) adds Jin as the refuge destination for 王子定 and as a pole in 郑国’s alliance problem. The source says Zheng and Jin had cooperated to return Wangzi Ding, helping explain why 楚国 would later pressure Zheng.

《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(3) makes Jin’s hollowness explicit. When 晋烈公 dies and 晋孝公 succeeds, the source says hereditary succession no longer matters much because the ruler is already a puppet of Han, Zhao, and Wei. The same episode also warns that later annalistic “Jin” war notices may actually refer to 魏国, because old polity labels linger after the partition.

《资治通鉴·周纪》09丨战国时代的世界大战 records Jin’s final notices. 晋孝公 dies, 晋静公 succeeds, and in 376 BCE Han, Zhao, and Wei depose Jin Jing Gong and divide Jin’s last territory. The episode treats this as the formal extinction of Jin.
