Emperor's Power versus Empress' Power: Qing Emperors' Control and Suppression of Empresses' Authority MAO Liping Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (4): 43-59.   Abstract （543）      PDF（pc） （12939KB）（440）       Knowledge map    Save For most of the Qing Dynasty, there were few instances of the empresses interfering in state affairs. This article investigates how emperors controlled and suppressed the authority of the empresses using the political system, ritual, and space to understand the dimensions of the "Cleanup of the Inner Palace”. Qing emperors isolated the inner court world by cutting off any connection between the empresses and people outside the court to restrict the empresses' authority from extending beyond the court. Under the control of emperors, the status of Qing empresses changed from “a motherly model of the nation" to "the master of the inner court." Ultimately, empresses could not even make decision son most matters within the inner court. Thus, Qing emperors contained the authority of the empresses efficiently and established their exclusive status inside and outside the court. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Study of the Western Character Code Created by Yuntang#br# WANG Miansen Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (5): 35-45.   Abstract （407）      PDF（pc） （11515KB）（377）       Knowledge map    Save Yuntang, the son of Emperor K angxi, created a code by mixing western characters and Manchu language. The Qing government included the use of this code to send messages as one of the 28 accusations against Yuntang. An inspection of the newly discovered file of Yuntang's case, has found that the code system transliterated Chinese using Manchu and then transliterated Manchu language to L atin characters. The design of this code system considered both the sound and shape of the characters. The code was quite distinctive but also had many defects. As the earliest known transliteration of Manchu created by Chinese people, the western character code created by Yuntang was an example of cultural communication between East and West in the early Qing Dynasty. As to the content of the coded letter, it only discussed family matters. Nevertheless, when the Qing government charged Yuntang it bypassed the content and focused on criticizing the intention of his behavior and created a subtle sense of between the virtual and the reality"' regarding the content of the letter and the meaning of the violation.

The Manchu Division of the Grand Council and the Transition of Central Organization in Qing Empire ZHANG Lingxiao Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (4): 68-81.   Abstract （390）      PDF（pc） （11150KB）（352）       Knowledge map    Save The Grand Council, as the central organization of the Qing Empire, had played an important role in the development of imperial politics since the mid-Qing. The Manchu Division (Man-ban，满伴）was a common term in the documents of the Grand Council，but scholars have paid little attention to this group. We do not know when it began, nor can we be sure of its personnel and duties. In this essay, the author argues that the Manchu Division was composed of Grand Council clerks, especially the Duty Secretaries值班章京.The officials of the Grand Council usually called them“Manchu old gentlemen”满老先生or Man-ban满班.Manchu Division might refer to Chinese language ban and Manchu language gaksi that was a new term created after the mid-Qianlong period. The appearance and popularity of the Manchu Division marked the maturation of internal mechanisms in the Grand Council.The emperor kept a balance between the Manchu and Chinese clerks by various devices. From the mid-nineteenth century, alienation grew between Manchu and Chinese clerks. Consequently, the Central Organization became rigid, and the political ecosystem finally collapsed completely.

The Submission and Rescript of the Routine Memorials in the Court of the Early Qing Dynasty ZHANG Yichi Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (5): 24-34.   Abstract （158）      PDF（pc） （12033KB）（338）       Knowledge map    Save Inherited from the Ming state, the system of administrative communication in the early Qing court after conquering China proper was founded on the circulation of a document, the Routine Memorial (Tiben). In the middle of Kangxi reign, the emperor made two significant changes to adapt the system to the new imperial administrative practice, that is, to rule in the imperial landscapes" or during an imperial tour. The first change reversed the submission of Routine Memorials, making the Great Secretariat, instead of the emperor, the first to receive and process documents. The second change was to establish a new office, the Rescript Office (piben chu) to reduce the emperor's daily paperwork burden. Despite the appearance of slothful rulership, the new system improved the efficiency of central government by mobilizing the officials like the Great Secretaries and Manchu servants of Imperial Household Department, forming a firm Inner Court that emphasized imperial power in the long eighteenth century China.

Textual Research on the Eight Banners' Garrison in Hanzhong in the Early Qing Dynasty QU Cheng Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (4): 118-133.   Abstract （212）      PDF（pc） （12495KB）（310）       Knowledge map    Save Hanzhong was a strategic crossing point between Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces during the suppression of the Three Feudatories. The Qing government had twice set up Eight Banner Garrisons during the Shunzhi and Kangxi reigns. For a variety of reasons, the end of the hostilities, difficulty of the transport and supply, the contradictions between the banner men and the local populace, and the prevention of Sinicization, the garrison in Hanzhong was finally withdrawn. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, the Qing government once again proposed establishing a garrison in Hanzhong to provide for the livelihood of banner men. However, because the Qing government was at war with the Dzunggars, the plan was scrapped. The establishment and removal of the Hanzhong Garrison indicated that the garrison system was still being adjusted stage before Qianlong reign. The removal of the Hanzhong Garrison also showed that the Qing dynasty had shifted the focus of Eight Banner garrisons from the interior to the frontier and relected the change of national political geography during the process of unification.

Early Qing Dynasty Official Interpretations of Confucian Works and Official Confucian Classics HUANG Aiping Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (5): 1-11.   Abstract （254）      PDF（pc） （13094KB）（303）       Knowledge map    Save Since the reign of Shunzhi, experiencing the three reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors, the Qing Imperial Court successively compiled nineteen categories of scripture and interpretative books with various titles, such as "Jie Yi", Zhe Zhong, Hui Zuan and "Yi Shu through official revision, which covered all the Confucian classics and thus constructed a systematic system of official Confucian classics. Referring to these measures, the rulers showed the governing function of Confucian classics, declared the unity of Confucian orthodoxy, and imperial governance, strengthened ethics and morality and the order of superior and inferior, and showed a certain sense of academic : summary. It is beneficial to deepen the study of the politics , ideology, and academia of the Qing Dynasty by clarifying the concrete situation of the early Qing official interpretations of Confucian classics, analyzing the background and process of the establishment of the official Confucian classics system, and disclosing the political pursuit, ideological concepts and cultural implications contained in them.

The Transformation of Frontier Governance in Guangxu-Xuantong Period and the “Danpier Case” ZHANG Linxi Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (4): 143-156.   Abstract （350）      PDF（pc） （10827KB）（290）       Knowledge map    Save The Kangxi and Qianlong emperors strengthened the sponsorship of land cultivation in Mongolia and changed the administrative mode over Han Chinese and Mongols from ethnic segregation to jurisdictional separation. However, as the central court increasingly lost control to local interests,private Mongolian cultivators flourished, which finally motivated the late Qing Reform to draw the Mongolian banner lands into the state revenue system. In this reformative attempt, the court authorized Yigu, the General of Suiyuancheng, to publicize the privately cultivated lands and permitted him to cooperate with the Bureau of Reclamation and land dealers. Yigu's way of reforming the cultivation,on the one hand, impeded the landed interests of the Taijis, and on the other hand, redirected the land revenues to the Bureau of Reclamation. Therefore, Yigu's conflict with the Taiji led to his execution of Danpier, a representative Taiji in Yihju League. The court in turn used this event as an excuse to dismiss Yigu and his collaborators. As a result, the Han Chinese and Mongols became integrated. The article demonstrates that other parts of Inner Mongolia followed Yigu's reform and therefore intensified the presence of the state power in Inner Mongolia. In conclusion, this critical change helped to increase the centripetal force of the Republican China over the Jasagh Mongolia. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The Military Scribe and the Military Management in the Qing Dynasty WEN Haibo XIE Diancheng Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (5): 55-68.   Abstract （228）      PDF（pc） （16709KB）（262）       Knowledge map    Save      The military scribe (ZISHI) was the most basic level staff in charge of processing documents for the Green Standard Army during the Qing Dynasty. Originating in the Ming Dynasty, the system of military scribes continued operating under the Shunzhi reign and was took shape during the mid- Kangxi reign. Most of these scribes were selected from the battalions by their officers. They were paid without receiving military training, so there was an attempt to replace them with military clerks during the Yongzheng period. Nevertheless, military officers kept this system for various reasons, related to the military budget or their own interests. Therefore, military scribes were widespread, and this system was difficult to abolish. To solve this problem and ensure the effective transmission of military documents, the Qing court made corresponding regulations on the amount, status, and allocation of military scribes in the mid - and late Qianlong period. The gradual institutionalization of military scribes was a compromise and pragmatic measure when the military power had difficulty to reach the grass roots society. However, problems resulting from the limited literacy of military officers could not be ignored. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on Local Militias (Tuanlian) in the Early Qing Dynasty CHEN Jun Studies in Qing History    2021, 0 (5): 69-83.   Abstract （139）      PDF（pc） （16786KB）（246）       Knowledge map    Save       In the past, scholars usually have traced the origin of local militias (tuanlian) to the White Lotus Rebellion during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor, and on this basis came to some inaccurate conclusions such as the dualistic relationship between the state and local and the theory that local militias originated from Baojia. This paper analyzes the origin of the concept of militia and focuses on the formation and evolution of militia in the early Qing Dynasty. It aims to show that militias were not a unique phenomenon to the late Qing Dynasty, and that the Qing state had already adopted this political strategy under the tense military situation in some border areas to achieve the purpose of consolidating local rule. At the same time, the relationship of militias and Baojia was not original and evolutionary, but a special relationship of externality and essence. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics
