从外官朝觐之制看清朝行政制度的简化

The Simplification of the Administrative System of the Qing Dynasty from the Pilgrimage Investigation System

清初实行的外官朝觐之制是官员考绩制度的一个组成部分,大计之后内地外省官员进京朝见皇帝、完成考核。国家对朝觐的官员范围、日期和过程都有规定,主要目的是考察人才和了解地方利弊。康熙二十六年(1687),为了简化和规范官员考绩制度,以及调整地方权力秩序,外官朝觐之制被废除。

In the early Qing Dynasty,the pilgrimage investigation system was an integral part of the system of official performance appraisal.After the general exam for officials,local officials would come to Beijing for pilgrimage investigation by the emperor and for the assessment.The state has stipulated the scope,date and process of the pilgrimages,aiming to examine the talents and understand the local advantages and disadvantages.In the 26th year of Kangxi(1687),the pilgrimage investigation system was abolished in order to simplify and standardize the performance appraisal system for officials and adjust the order of local power.
