后晋 / Later Jin

Later Jin / 后晋 is one of the five central-plain dynasties in [[FiveDynastiesTenKingdoms|五代十国]]. In EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？, [[ShiJingtang|石敬瑭]]’s rise and the later Jin-Liao context mark the transition into the period when the Khitan factor becomes central to northern politics.

The episode’s third stage runs from Later Jin toward [[NorthernSong|北宋]] unification. It is the phase in which unification trends grow stronger even as northern frontier power and central-plain succession remain deeply unstable.
