元代靖州路建置与地方治理探蠡

AnExploration of the Establishment of Yuan Dynasty Jingzhou Circuit and Local Governance

元代靖州路由于其辖境毗邻少数民族地区,相对于一般路州,在湖广行省地方治理中的地缘位置较为特殊。有元一代靖州路的行政建置嬗变不定,其变迁伴随着湖广行省民族区域秩序的不断变更。元顺帝一朝曾针对靖州路与思州安抚司就黔东南洞民地区的隶属进行划境。通过对相关问题的辨析亦可见元廷利用土官与路州辖区之间的相互作用以巩固民族区域的地方治理。

In Yuan Dynasty, Jingzhou Circuit(lu), due to its proximity to ethnic minority regions, had a geographically fairly special position in the local governance system of Huguang province, compared to other circuits and districts(zhou). During Yuan Dynasty, the administration establishment of Jingzhou Circuit kept changing, transforming along with the constant alteration in the order of ethnic regions in the province. During the reign of Emperor Shun(1333-1370) of the Yuan Dynasty, a border division between Jingzhou Circuit and the Sizhou Appeasement Department was once conducted concerning the jurisdiction of the Dong people region in southeast Qian. An analysis of related questions also reveals that the Yuan Court was using the interaction between the local officials and the circuit and district jurisdiction officials to strengthen local governance in ethnic regions.
