About the work
Jìn Gōngqīng Lǐzhì 晉公卿禮秩 (also titled Fù Chàng Jìn Gōngqīng Lǐzhì 傅暢晉公卿禮秩) is a jíyìběn reconstruction of a lost work on the ritual prerogatives and institutional rankings of the Jin dynasty’s highest officials by 傅暢, also the author of the Jìn Zhūgōng Zàn 晉諸公讚 (KR4k0391). The work detailed the ceremonial entitlements — carriages, robes, insignia, ritual vessels, burial privileges — accorded to each rank of the Jin aristocracy and civil service.

Abstract
Fù Chàng came from a family with a strong interest in institutional history: his father Fù Xuán 傅玄 was a noted political theorist and ritual scholar. The Jìn Gōngqīng Lǐzhì was a practical reference work for the Jin court, codifying the material symbols of rank and status that structured the political hierarchy. The Suí Shū 隋書 bibliography records it alongside other Jin institutional compilations. The surviving fragments, at over 600 lines, document the sumptuary regulations, ritual protocols, and funerary privileges assigned to each bureaucratic grade. They were preserved largely through citations in the Táng institutional encyclopedias and the Sānguó Zhì 三國志 and Shìshuō Xīnyǔ 世說新語 commentaries.
