清代江苏建省问题新探

A New Study on the Establishment of Jiangsu Province in the Qing Dynasty

清代江苏何时建省,也就是江南省在什么时候分省,是江苏、安徽两省地方史研究的重要问题之一,受到学术界长期的关注。本文通过对康熙六年前后相关史料的考辨,认为江苏建省是始于顺治十八年的左右布政使分设,以康熙六年为新设布政使命名而告完成。在建省过程中,清廷和地方督抚大员起着各自的作用。与江苏建省相关的一系列问题,只有全面、深入地解读相关史料,才能得出较为合理的解释。

When Jiangsu Province was established in the Qing Dynasty, and when Jiangnan Province was divided into Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces, are the most important questions in the study of the local history of Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces and have always been topics of concern within academic circles. Based on textual analysis on the related historical materials from around 1667, this article argues that the process of establishing Jiangsu Province began in 1661 （the 18th year of the Shunzhi reign） when ＂Left＂ and ＂Right＂ Provincial Administrative Commissioners were divided and ended in 1667 （the 6th year of Kangxi reign） when the newly established Provincial Governors were named. The Qing court and local high- ranking provincial officials both played a role in this process. The related issues regarding the establishment of Jiangsu Province can be only clarified based on a comprehensive and deep study of the related historical data.
