Broadly speaking, in Qing dynasty Mongolia there were two administrative systems that differed in nature and function: the Mongolian banner system(Meng-qi) and the Chinese bureaucratic system(dao-fu-zhou-xian). The banner system, which was established among the nomadic Mongols during the early Qing, was compatible with the established among the nomadic Mongols during the early Qing, was compatible with the existing system of princes, and allowed for a degree of autonomy. The institution of the Chinese bureaucratic system accompanied a great increase in Han farming communities during the mid-Qing. These two administrative systems coexisted and reflected very complicated administrative relations.
