The Jin (or Kin) Dynasty was a regime established by the Jurchen (Nuzhen) tribe.
In effect, surrounded by Mongolia to the north, the Western Xia to the west, and the Southern Song to the south, the Jin was in an unfavourable situation.
The emperor of the Jin fled to Caizhou (Runan County in Henan Province).
Offspring of the Tungus branch of the Altaic people, and ancestor of the Manchu that should eventually found the Qing Dynasty æ¸ , the Jurchen ruler Wanyan Aguda å®é¡é¿éª¨æ proclaimed himself as emperor of a JinDynasty é in 1115.
And, very similar to their forerunners in north China (the Liao Dynasty), the Jin government was slain by economical desasters at the eve of the Mongol conquest.
With the JinDynasty's fall, Southern Song China was open for the conquerors.
