Jin Ridi was one of the most important ministers of Western Han dynasty although he was a Xiongnu originally. Xiongnu was the most serious trouble-maker in the frontier of the Western Han. Almost all his life Emperor Han Wudi made his best efforts on the wars against Xiongnu and from the wars he gained part of his great successes which made his name widely known by later people. Contradictory Jin Ridi made his own influence and importance during Han Wudi's reign although his ethnicity was usually seen as a Xiongnu. When Han Wudi was dying he made Jin Ridi one of regent ministers of his successor, an eight-year-old boy-emperor. According to the biography of Jin Ridi in Ban Gu's Hanshu, this paper focuses on how Jin Ridi transformed his identity from a Xiongnu aristocrat into a Han Chinese official, how he entered the main centre of political power of early Western Han, and how his descendants succeeded the identity he had constructed. |
