Includes the Jurchen tribe invaders, native Han people, and refugees from the remnants of former Xia and Khitai kingdoms.
After taking over Northern China, the Jin Dynasty became increasingly influenced by the culture of the Song people. The Taihe Code of law was promulgated in 1201 and was based mostly on the Tang Code.
