Jìn Bǎiguān Míng 晉百官名
Names of the Hundred Officials of Jin anonymous
About the work
Jìn Bǎiguān Míng 晉百官名 is a jíyìběn reconstruction of a lost administrative reference work listing the “hundred officials” (bǎiguān 百官) of the Jin dynasty — an institutional roster of court and government positions with the names of their incumbents. The bǎiguān míng 百官名 genre was an important category of administrative bibliography: lists of office-holders organized by post, serving as both a personnel record and a guide to the structure of government.

Abstract
The Suí Shū 隋書 bibliography records a Jìn Bǎiguān Míng and similar institutional reference works for several dynasties. The present fragments preserve lists of office-holders for various Jin central and provincial posts, arranged roughly by bureaucratic rank. They provide prosopographical data supplementing the official history: who held which office in which year, often with brief notes on their native place or subsequent career. The fragments were preserved through citations in the Shìshuō Xīnyǔ 世說新語 commentary and the Sānguó Zhì 三國志 commentary, which frequently consulted bǎiguān míng texts to identify historical figures mentioned in passing.
