Why is Jin Dynasty called Jinyuan?

The word "Jin Yuan" in Historical Geography of Jin Dynasty is written as follows: "Going to Beijing is the land, and gold is also the hometown. The national proverb "Jin" says "according to the tiger", so it is named Jinyuan. The name of the founding of the country was taken here, and the country was called the mainland at the beginning. " From this historical data, we can know that the word Jinyuan comes from the Nuzhen language "Jin" and the river where Nuzhen Zhaoxing Real Estate is located (now Ashe River, a tributary of Songhua River). The name of Guo Xu also comes from this. The meaning of the word Jinyuan here refers to the origin and prosperity of the Jurchen nationality in the Jin Dynasty.

With the change of history, the extension of its meaning refers to the whole Jin Dynasty in history. Jin Shi (126) records that Yuan Haowen "was in charge of his own works in his later years, such as the family background, laws and regulations of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the history of the subjugation of the Han and Tang Dynasties." "The places where the last words of Jin, Yuan, Jun and Chen were carried out were all recorded on paper inch by inch, reaching more than one million words." Jin Shi Juan 16 "Xuanzong Xia Ji" praised: "Xuanzong, when the gold resources were not shipped, he was determined to make great efforts." The History of the Yuan Dynasty (1 18) contains: "Jin, Yuan and Qian Shan are the boundaries, limited to the north and south." The "Jinyuan" here refers to the Jin regime, generally referring to the Daikin Dynasty. The word "Jinyuan" is often used in articles after the Yuan Dynasty.
