Features: The county was the lowest level of local governance during the Ming Dynasty. The so-called "officials appointed by the imperial court" usually only reached the county level. For this reason, county governance research is crucial for gaining an in-depth understanding of the political landscape of the Ming Dynasty and interpreting its social dynamics. The book Research on Ming County Governance comprehensively explores Ming county governance issues from aspects such as the administrative system, judicial affairs, financial issues, public security, relief policies, and education. Building on existing research, it extensively cites sources and provides in-depth analysis, successfully depicting the picture of Ming county governance. The entire book is logically rigorous, meticulously researched, and fully demonstrates the author's solid historical expertise.
