The sustainment of Eastern Jin Dynasty is based on the support from the aristocratic families and the political operation of Eastern Jin Dynasty is named as Aristocratic Family Politic by the academics. The succession to the throne is also influenced by the political reality and accordingly, the succession is not simply the transfer of power, but the result of the balance of politic. For example, among the 11 emperors of the Dynasty, only 5 of them succeed to the throne as prince; more than half of the emperors succeed as the King of Langya. The succession system is divided into two systems as the system of prince and the system of King of Langya; the binary system features the power structure of the Dynasty. The study aims to explore the right of succession of the two systems and probes into the roles of noble families in the process.
