清代宁武府历任知府考

The Magistrates of Ningwu Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty

宁武府于雍正三年(1725)设置,隶属山西省。(乾隆)《宁武府志》卷六“职官”中的“知府”条首次记载历任知府,但仅至乾隆十七年(1752)。从乾隆十七年至宣统三年,时间跨度达159年,均无宁武府历任知府的成体系记载。鉴于地方文献的散佚,历任宁武府知府的任职离职年限亦残缺。通过查检雍正至宣统朝的相关史料文献,考究并理清历任知府的任离时间,既可弥补其缺漏,又可为相关学者提供较为系统全面的研究史料。

Ningwu Prefecture was set up in the third year of the Yongzheng regnal period (1725), under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province. The entry “prefectural magistrate” in Government Positions (Volume Six) of Ningwu Annals (Qianlong) is the first entry to detail the prefectural magistrates who had served in Ningwu as of the seventeenth year of the Qianlong regnal period (1752). No systematic records are available of the prefectural magistrates who served in Ningwu in the 159 years from the seventeenth year of Emperor Qianlong to the third year of Emperor Xuantong. Their term of office is also missing due to the lack of complete local records. This paper collects information from relevant historical records dating back to the Yongzheng and Xuantong years to seek out the term of office of Ningwu’s prefectural magistrates and to provide comprehensive data for scholars interested in this field.
