Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project has highlighted the northern trajectory of kinship evolution in north China. although the lineup of local elite changed repeatedly by the dynastic transitions during the fourteenth to nineteenth century, the way local elites maintained their status in local society did not change tremendously. The marriage pattern of the Jin-Yuan stele erectors suggests that marriage largely remained a local affair while office-holding kinsmen occasionally sought to establish marriage ties with their colleagues or acquaintances in officialdom. Even in the case of the Hunyuan Suns, whose patriarchs successfully maintained the hereditary connection with the Mongol imperial bloodline, kinfolk without official status or with a low-ranking office married locally, rather than seeking to establish interregional marriage networks. This binary marriage pattern in the office-holding descent groups was hardly unique in the Jin-Yuan north China.
