清代禁赌活动中的乡村自治

Research on the Village Autonomy through the Campaign of Banning Gambles During Qing Dynasty

赌风盛行,影响到了正常的清代乡村秩序。乡村社会因而开展了禁赌活动。它带有较强自治性:村社通过刻立碑碣、存于庙宇,进行了风俗改良的努力;禁赌的主导者是村社而非官府,即以官府为依靠又自行其事。这种努力在1884年以后因官方政策的变化走入低谷,民国之后重新萌芽。

The prevailing of gambling effected the normal social order of villages of Qing Dynasty , so the village society launched a campaign against gambles and to renovate customs .The villages themselves had strong autonomy：on the one hand the village communities established stone tablets in temples with an attempt to renovate village customs;on the other hand , leaders of the campaign were village communi-ties but not government , who though depended on the government , had their own way .All these efforts went from high tide to low tide because official policies change after 1884 and reappeared during the peri-od of R.O.C.
