This thesis aims to study Former Qin (351–94), a kingdom established in North China by members of the ethnic group named Di. As result of a natural evolution brought about by political expediencies, Former Qin's political and administrative institutions were a combination of Han-Chinese and tribal patterns of governance. Pu Jian (338–85), the fourth ruler of Former Qin, emulated the Han legitimation model that was conceptualized during and after the Han dynasty. He put several aspects of this model into practice namely: procedural (concerning ceremonial and educational issues), semantic (centering around religious procedures and ideas like the theory of the Five Agents), and popular legitimation techniques (such as economic benefits for the common people). Pu Jian also tried to attain the position of an autocratic Han-Chinese sovereign who held absolute power in theory and did not need to justify his political decisions to the populace. Following the Han pattern, Pu Jian tightly controlled those groups that posed potential threat to his power, for instance magnates of his own ethnic group, the Di, and the ruling elite of defeated regimes. The separate administration of Han-Chinese and non-Han tribes indicates that Former Qin retained certain aspects of tribal rule. A system of Military and Commandant Protectors was implemented throughout Former Qin to administer the non-Han tribes. Furthermore, Pu Jian relied on personal associates to assist him in government. Even a cursory examination of the careers of his officials revealed that all major positions in the central and regional government, as well as the army, were filled with either Pu Jian's relatives or longstanding supporters. Over all, Pu Jian's administrative structure incorporated many of the Han and tribal features. This combination of different elements at least enabled him to unify North China and in addition to establish the route for conquering the South. His success was therefore not merely a matter of sinicization.
