晋文经 / Jin Wenjing (late Han)

Overview

晋文经 / Jin Wenjing is a late-Han figure from Hanzhong whose wiki role is source-scoped to Hanji 862. The episode pairs him with 黄允 as a person whose talent reputation grows large enough to influence elite appointment opinion before his conduct has been publicly proved.

Current Profile

The source presents Jin Wenjing through a reputation mechanism rather than a full biography. He and Huang Yun both rely on talent and fame, refuse summons to office, and stay in Luoyang under the pretext of illness while making themselves hard to meet. That scarcity increases their prestige: senior officials send disciples to ask after them, and Three Excellencies-level selection choices are influenced by their praise or criticism.

The turning point comes when 符融 warns 李膺 that the two men’s conduct and achievements are not actually known. The source says their reputation then declines quickly, visitors decrease, and both later become disgraced through crime. Jin Wenjing therefore helps define 空誉违实 as a public-selection risk, not merely a private character flaw.

Key Characteristics

• Hanzhong reputation figure paired with Huang Yun.
• Talent-famous but conduct-unproven actor in the source.
• Refuses office and uses illness as a posture that preserves scarcity and mystique.
• Indirectly influences official selection through elite consultation.
• Loses public standing after Fu Rong challenges the gap between fame and evidence.
• Source case for reputation becoming appointment-channel noise.

Evidence

• Fame pairing: Hanji 862 pairs Jin Wenjing with Huang Yun as men known for talent and intelligence.
• Refusal and scarcity: Hanji 862 says the two refuse summons, claim illness in Luoyang, and avoid ordinary visitors.
• Appointment influence: Hanji 862 says high officials consult them before some appointment decisions.
• Reputation decline: Hanji 862 says Fu Rong’s warning to Li Ying precedes the decline of the two men’s reputation and followers.

Qualifications

This page does not settle a full biography of Jin Wenjing. It records the role preserved by Hanji 862: a talent reputation that becomes socially and institutionally influential before conduct has been tested. The source note normalizes the transcript’s “金文金” to 晋文经.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 862’s Huang Yun and Jin Wenjing reputation-pairing.

Relationships

• 黄允 - paired empty-fame figure in the same source.
• 符融 - critic who names the reputation-reality gap.
• 李膺 - senior moral official who accepts Fu Rong’s warning.
• 空誉违实 - concept Jin Wenjing directly supports.
• 选官通道竞争 - adjacent appointment-channel problem made noisy by untested fame.
• 清议声誉压力 - broader late-Han public-evaluation field that this case qualifies.
