Abstract

In the Ming, prefectural, judges always had some administrative duties beyond the hearing of cases. As is revealed in a late-Ming handbook for prefectural judges, by the end of the Ming period those additional duties had expanded beyond prefectural boundaries and in many cases had led to prefectural judges serving as assistants to the regional inspector in the evaluation of local and regional officials. This paper traces the development of the role of prefectural judge from the founding of the dynasty in 1368, the expansion of his responsibilities over time, the debates over the changes, and how the support of the regional inspector became such an important role by the early seventeenth century. This account also serves to illustrate how the practice of local and regional administration changed over the course of the Ming dynasty.

当判官变为判官——从州判官的角色看明代地方行政的变迁

在明代，郡守法官除了审理案件外，还担负着一些行政职责。正如明末的郡县法官手册所揭示的那样，到明末，这些额外的职责已经扩展到郡县边界之外，在许多情况下，郡县法官在评估地方和地区官员时担任区域检查员的助手。本文追溯了自1368年王朝建立以来，郡县法官角色的发展，他的职责随着时间的推移而扩大，对变化的争论，以及地区检查员的支持如何在17世纪初成为如此重要的角色。这也有助于说明在明朝的过程中，地方和区域管理的实践是如何变化的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
