::''Not to be confused with the [[Western Jin Dynasty]] (265-317), or the Later Jin Dynasty, later renamed the [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] (1616-1911).''
*''Ended: [[1234]]''
*''Chinese'': 金 ''(Jīn)''
The Jin Dynasty was a [[Jurchen]] dynasty which ruled northern China, conquering the [[Northern Song Dynasty]] in [[1127]] and claiming most of the land north of the [[Huai River]]. The dynasty is known for its Sinicization, and developments in [[Daoism|Daoist]] thought and [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] art. By the "High Jin," c. [[1165]]-[[1206]], the Jin claimed to be the true successors to the Northern Song, over the [[Southern Song Dynasty|Southern Song]].
After taking the Northern Song capital of [[Kaifeng]] in 1127, the Jin captured [[Emperor Huizong]] and [[Emperor Qinzong of Song]], taking them to the Jurchen homeland in [[Manchuria]], where they lived as hostages for the remainder of their lives. Another son of Huizong restored the Song Dynasty in the south, setting his capital at [[Hangzhou]] in [[1138]] and taking the throne as [[Emperor Gaozong of Song]]. The Song concluded a treaty with the Jin in [[1142]], putting an end to the conquest & wars, in exchange for regular payments of Song [[tribute]] to the Jin.
Conflicts between the Jurchens and the Chinese erupted again several times over the course of the period, particularly in [[1161]]-[[1165]] and 1206-[[1208]]. However, Jin reliance on cavalry, combined with Song naval superiority, meant that the Jin were not to be successful in crossing the [[Yangtze River]].
The Jin fell to the [[Mongols]] in [[1234]].
