Abstract

"Genealogy and Status: Hereditary Office Holding and Kinship in North China under Mongol Rule" by Tomoyasu Iiyama is a comprehensive study that explores the use of genealogical steles in northern China during the Mongol rule. The author examines the reasons behind the widespread use of steles and their significance in documenting lineage genealogy. Through detailed analysis of various lineages, the book sheds light on the dynamics of elite formation, office-holding, and kinship in the region. The author's extensive research and command of epigraphic materials make this book a valuable resource for understanding north China during the Jin and Yuan periods. [Extracted from the article]
