后晋 / Later Jin

Later Jin / 后晋 is one of the five central-plain dynasties in 五代十国. In EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？, 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 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.
