论明清时期的“胥吏之害”

The Harms Brought by the Aides and Staffs of the MING and QING Dynasty

胥吏是中国传统官僚政治形态得以存在的重要载体,有官则必有吏。到了明清时期,胥吏的重要性更加凸显,但与此同时,胥吏操权柄、谋私利的现象也空前严重,这种情况在司法实践中表现得尤为典型。明清时期的"胥吏之害",从根本上来说是制度造成的,在封闭的专制政治体制下,它无法得到彻底的解决。

The aides and staffs are important media of traditional Chinese bureaucracy. When it came to the MING and QING dynasty, they became more important, however, the harms brought by them sterned, which was typical in judicial activities. The harms of the aides and staffs were outcomes of tranditional Chinese bureaucracy, so, it could not be eliminated.
