## Resource

The state of Jin stands at the height of its power—but beneath the surface, the balance of power is shifting. Bernie and Dan explore the growing dominance of Jin's great aristocratic clans, the weakening authority of its rulers, and the political maneuvering that will eventually lead to one of the most important turning points in ancient Chinese history: the Partition of Jin.
