Abstract
The article carries out a concrete historical analysis of the event structure associated with the activities of the court clans of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and briefly examines and analyzes the complex and little-studied problems of the historical and political process and the history of early Chinese Buddhism in the troubled era of East Jin. The author concludes that during the period of Eastern Jin there was an important shift in the religious and ideological preferences of the South Chinese elite – from Taoism to Chinese Buddhism. Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian cults served as the ideological tool of the court groups in the struggle for the key posts and resources of the South China Empire. The foundation was laid for the formation of the concept of the three teachings (San Jiao). All this allows us to characterize this dynasty as a pseudo-monarchy or military-monarchist dictatorship.
