论明廷授予土司的流官职衔类型

A Study on the Types of Official Position Awarded by the Ming Court to the Tusi

通过对被授予本省文武流官职衔和外省文官职衔的三位土司展开分析,认为明代土司被授予的流官职衔通常属于加官而非兼官,仅是虚职。这样的授职与明代土流官员分列的制度设计相吻合,既能防范地方势力坐大,又能在一定程度上调动土司的积极性,是明朝对元代土官制度的重要发展。

Through an analysis of the three Tusi who were awarded the title of civil and military official in their own province and the title of civil official in other provinces, it is argued that the Ming dynasty Tusi were usually awarded the title of civil official as an additional post rather than a part-time post, which was only a virtual post. Such an award was in line with the design of the Ming system, which prevented local forces from growing in power while also motivating the Tusi to a certain extent, and was an important development of the Ming system of Tusi in the Yuan dynasty.
