Politics, Law and Society in Local Archives in the Qing Dynasty
About This Novel
"Everything begins in the state and county." The state and county-level governments that directly manage the people are of vital significance in the country's governance system. This book uses the "Nanfang Archives" of southern counties in Sichuan Province and the "Ba County Archives" of Ba County, and combines it with local archives such as "Danxin Archives" and "Baodi Archives" as well as official classics and documents. Practical research has been carried out on the responsibilities of the territory, student litigation, Feng Shui litigation, the establishment of markets, concepts and beliefs in the context of "cutting legs to cure marriage", rain praying activities in prefectures and counties, and the implementation of official marriage certificates in the late Qing Dynasty. It also explores issues such as the social governance structure of prefectures and counties in the Qing Dynasty, the administrative operations of grassroots yamen, and the interaction between officials, gentry, and citizens.
