Emperor Yuan of Jin (Chinese: 晉元帝; pinyin: Jìn Yuán Dì; Wade–Giles: Chin Yüan-ti; 276 – 3 January 323[3]), personal name Sima Rui (司馬睿), courtesy name Jingwen (景文), was an emperor of the Jin dynasty and the first emperor of the Eastern Jin. He was the great-grandson of Sima Yi, the grandson of Sima Zhou and the son of Sima Jin (司馬覲).
During the Upheaval of the Five Barbarians, he was stationed south of the Yangtze in Jiankang where he avoided the chaos that befell northern China. Primarily through the help of the cousins, Wang Dun and Wang Dao, he emerged as a legitimate authority figure within the empire, backed by both the southern gentry clans and northern emigres families who fled to his domain for refuge. After Emperor Min of Jin was executed by the Han-Zhao dynasty in 318, he proclaimed himself Emperor and officially moved the capital to Jiankang. At the time of his death, he left the state under the heel of Wang Dun, but the Eastern Jin dynasty as it became known lasted until its fall in July 420, contending with the Sixteen Kingdoms in the north and occasionally in the southwest.
