The Imperial Power Does Not Extend to the County? : County Administrative Districts and Grassroots Social Governance in the Qing Dynasty
by Hu Heng
About This Novel
The rise of regional studies is one of the distinctive features of the shift in historical research since the 1980s. The academic community has abandoned the past grand narratives that were limited to political history, and instead tried to find a path to present "overall history" through case studies or regional studies, and to construct its own interpretation model of Chinese history. How to define "region" has become one of the priority issues that researchers need to deal with. Based on the systematic and comprehensive collection of Qing Dynasty archives, records, and political documents, this book will focus on exploring the formation and development process of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty. That is, as a national-level institutional design, its institutional origins, what kind of institutional changes it experienced in the Qing Dynasty, and its disappearance during the Republic of China. The spatial distribution of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty, and the relationship between the establishment of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty and local governance have important academic significance.
