"Official History of the Ming Dynasty I": "The chieftain officials have nine tastes, and since attacking the three tastes (from the three tastes), they all follow their customs." Generally speaking, the highest official position of the Ming Tusi is from the three products.
Toast is divided into broad sense and narrow sense. In a broad sense, chieftain refers not only to the administrative office independently built by the indigenous people in minority areas within their sphere of influence and permitted by national laws, but also to local officials who "have their place in the world, govern their people, unify their soldiers in the world, perform their duties hereditary, govern their position in the world, and enter the world and be sealed by them".
In a narrow sense, Tusi refers to the local officials who "occupy a place in the world, control their people, control their soldiers, take their duties hereditary, control their positions, join their ranks and be sealed by them".
Extended data:
First of all, from the introduction of three products:
In the feudal period, the sixth level of the nine levels of eighteen levels of control was equivalent to the third level. Since the establishment of Wei Jiupin official system, officials have been divided into nine grades, from Zhengyi to Jiudeng, totaling eighteen grades.
Among them, Zhengsanpin is divided into Zhengsanpin Hall and Zhengsanpin Hall. Is a product to is a product of the hall, known as the hall Shangguan. Zhengsanpintang goes down to Zhengqipintang, which is called Xiaguan or Shangguan. The following seven items are Senate officers. Every dynasty followed the official position theory.
Second, the Ming dynasty toast introduction:
After the Ming Dynasty pacified Yunnan, during the period from Hongwu to Zheng Tong (1368- 1449), various measures and even war measures were taken to smash the border crisis caused by the separatist forces Lu Chuan, and the territory of the southwest frontier was greatly expanded.
In its heyday, the territory of the Ming Dynasty covered almost the whole territory of Myanmar today, and the traditional border administrative system could no longer meet the needs of border control at this time. In order to adapt to the social development of the southwest frontier under the new situation, the Ming Dynasty gradually established a set of administrative system of hierarchical management of "inner border area" and "outer border area" in the southwest frontier, which profoundly affected the development and territory formation of the southwest frontier.
The National Annals and Yunnan Annals compiled in Ming Dynasty recorded the social conditions in Yunnan from Hongwu to the Apocalypse, whether it was Tianxia Annals, Daming Annals or Jingtai Yunnan Annals, Zhengde Yunnan Annals, Wanli Yunnan Annals and Apocalypse Yunnan Annals.
It reflects that the administrative establishment of Yunnan in Ming Dynasty was recorded according to two types, and reveals the characteristics of "internal and external division" of the administrative system of southwest frontier in Ming Dynasty.
