Abstract：As a set of cultural and geographical concepts evolved from ancient Chinese landscape worship， “Yue Zhen Hai Du” is a symbol of national territory and the legitimacy of the dynasty. After occupying the Central Plains， the Jin Dynasty， founded by the Jurchens， established “Yue Zhen Hai Du” as the sacrificial system to create the image of a unified Chinese dynasty， comparable to the rituals and music of the Tang and Song dynasties. In light of the actual situation， the Jin Dynasty established a regular worship system with the chief officials on the “Four Establishment Days and Local King Days”， to “remotely worship” the South Mount and South Town at the Temple of Mount Song， and South Sea and South River at the Temple of Donghai Guangdewang. The question raised by Qian Daxin， a Qing Dynasty textual researcher， about the conferring of the title of princes on the five towns and four rivers during the Mingchang period was actually a misunderstanding of the relevant records in the “Dajin Jili”. On the issue of enfeoffment and sacrificial rites in Yue Zhen Hai Du， the Jin Dynasty experienced a transition from “keeping the old system of the Tang and Song Dynasties” to “keeping the old system of the Song Dynasty”， reflecting the cultural shift and orthodoxy of the Jin Dynasty during the reigns of Emperor Shizong and Emperor Zhangzong. The Jin and Song dynasties jointly worshiped Yue Zhen Hai Du through “remote worship”， making it a shared cultural and geographical symbol between the north and the south， which objectively promoted the formation of a cultural community of the Chinese nation.
