The institution of official placement is a political institution commonly promoted in the times of the Warring states. The institution of official placement is more typical of its type, inheriting the food and salary institution of the times of West Chou and the Spring and Autumn Period and giving rise to the institution of food and counties. In the meantime, compared to the six other kingdoms, the official placement institution borrowed from the military practice of merits and ranks of nobility, i.e. in the Qin Dynasty.There were not only placements of the imperial juniors but most importantly the Qin Hanasty awarded the highest ranks of nobility to those ministers who accomplished important military merits. Thus, the placement of officials played an irreplaceable role in its nibbling at the six kingdoms to its east towards integration. This article makes a close survey of the placement of officials to prove its origin and its impact on the politics in the Qin Dynasty.
