明初土家族地区卫所设置考

An Investigation of the Local Administration Establishment in Tujia Nationality Regions in the Early Ming Dynasty

对明初明王朝在土家族地区设置卫所的时间、地点、名目等情况进行了逐一考述,第一次描绘出明初土家族地区卫所设置的全景。澄清了一些历史谜团,提出了一些新的观点,如:指出明初在贵州思州、思南土司境内曾分别设置思州守御千户所和思南守御千户所等。

An all-sided investigation is made of local administration establishments in the areas inhabited by Tujia people during the early period of Tang Dynasty. New findings have been achieved, eg. thousand-household administrative communities were set up in Guizhou. Some doubts which have long remained in history are thus cleared up.
