In the process of modernization of local warehouse in Sichuan province in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a prominent feature of “official retreating and gentry advancing”. With the pressure of government finance and improvement of the status of local gentry, gentry played an increasingly important role in the operation of warehouse, and the cooperation between officials and gentry became the dominant mode of local warehouse. The dependence of the government on the local gentry in the primary level operation of warehouse reflected the decline of the government’s control over the local society in the late Qing Dynasty, but the government did not give up the power of public affairs, and the local gentry’s management of warehouse was still under the supervision and management of the government.
