清代甘肃省循化厅歇家研究

Study about Xiejia in Xunhua Office of Gansu Province during Qing Dynasty

清代循化厅歇家是雍正年间平定罗卜藏丹津之后,为加强时藏边地区的控制,将原来河州厅治下以通事出身为主的番歇家,转由官办发展起来的粮赋型歇家。循化厅歇家具有就家接歇与散役的特点。他们是沟通地方政府与番民不可或缺的中介,不仅包揽番粮,还在此基础上,延伸出稽查户口、通语词讼、调查案件、调节社会纠纷、查禁贸易等职能。这表明明清时期歇家并非完全具有客店的性质,也不可能具备代表政府管理基层社会。

Xiejia of Xunhua office was a grain tax One that was set up by government after Yongzheng Emperor suppressed the riot caused by Luobozangdanjin. For the purpose to reinforce the control on border areas, it was changed from informing vassal Xiejia governed by Hezhou office to grain tax one. Xiejia of Xunhua office had features of resting and being runners . They were the medium for the communication between the central government and vassal people, and their duty included taking grain tax , checking residence registration, investigating cases ,mediating disputes, prohibiting trades and so on . All these showed that Xiejia of Xunhua office was not a real inn, and it also couldn＇t represent the government to govern the local society.
