Abstract   

 Jin Dynasty ruled in a very tyrannical manner under the leadership of Zhan-han shortly after the capture of North China. Jin's army did not hesitate to commit atrocities from the point of entry into North China, and even after the occupation, he remained in a coercive position over the Chinese people. Even traditional Chinese clothing was not recognized.

With Shi-zong's ascension in the mid-12th century, the rule of North China was a major turnaround. The key to that was revealed in the state's measures against the poverty of Meng-an Mou-kepple. Shi- zong initially adopted a plan to isolate Meng-an Mou-ke people and Chinese people. However, he soon acknowledged the reality and decided to gradually allow tenant farming on land owned by Meng-an Mou- kepple. This also established a perception within the ruling group that Chinese farmers supported Jin Dynasty financially.
