the influence of emperor xiaowen's reform in the northern Wei dynasty:

the sinicization reform measures promoted by emperor xiaowen were conducive to easing class contradictions and played a positive role in the recovery and development of social economy.

The Jiupin Zhengzhi system, which was founded in Cao Wei's time, has become a situation of selecting officials from aristocratic families in the Western Jin Dynasty, and has evolved into two social classes, namely, the gentry and commoners, and the famous saying that "the top grade has no poverty, and the bottom grade has no gentry" stems from this.

Because Xianbei people themselves have not acquired profound cultural attainments and independent political reform ideas, they have blindly copied the previous policies of the Han regime, and thus inherited this gate system that has seriously affected social development.

Wei Shu? Official Records records: "There are three officials who are in charge of giving things, and the state secretariat, town generals, and those who are crowned princes are surnames ... and there are three who are in the middle of the school, have been in prison, and are satrap, son, and son." The gate system was further extended from Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was not abolished until the Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination system.

One of the reasons for the success of Emperor Xiaowen's reform was that most Hu people were able to speak Chinese and wear Chinese clothes at that time, but they could still speak Hu language and wear Hu clothes. This reform only accelerated the process of changing customs.
