乾清宫空间功能的转换与制度变迁（上）

On The Functional and Administrative Transformation of Qianqinggong Palace(Part A)

乾清宫是明清皇宫中位于内廷的宫殿,在明代是皇帝的寝宫,清康熙八年,皇帝居住场所从保和殿迁入乾清宫,这座明代皇帝寝宫遂被改造成清帝的理政中心。随着乾清宫空间功能的改变,清代一些重要的制度也随之出现,如乾清门御门听政、乾清宫召对臣工、懋勤殿秋谳勾到等。而且乾清宫功能的转变,直接影响了外臣进入内廷的行为方式。本文通过对文献资料的梳理,论证了乾清宫空间功能转变的原因、过程及相应制度的产生。

This paper discusses the causes for and process of the spatial function transformation of Qianqinggong Palace(Palace of Heavenly Purity) and the corresponding system that followed based on historical archives. Qianqinggong Palace of the Inner Court used to be where the Ming emperors lived before it was transformed in function as the governance center of the Qing dynasty after Emperor Kangxi( 康熙) moved in from Baohedian Palace(Hall of Preserving Harmony) in his 8 th year. Thereafter, the new rules took effect including the emperor’s listening to memorials and issuing proclamations at the Gate of the Qianqinggong Palace, summoning officials in the Qianqinggong Palace, holding trial and conviction in autumn at the Maoqindian Hall(Hall of Diligence) and so forth. The transformation of function consequently affected the way that ministers entered the inner court.
