傅、阎之争与乾州“均屯”

The Controversy between Fu Nai and Yan Guangju,Two Officials,over Farming and Defense in Miao Area in Qianzhou Town

清嘉庆初年,湘西苗疆局势渐趋"平稳",均田屯防被其时苗疆地方官员视为最重要的治理举措全面推行开来。然而,就在"均屯"开展过程中,总理湘西苗疆边务的凤凰厅同知傅鼐与乾州厅同知阎广居,围绕乾州"均屯"的必要性、规则与范围等问题,展开了激烈论争。这场论争解决了湘西苗疆地方官员关于"均屯"的观念分歧,使得整个湘西苗疆屯务和"苗防"体系建设全面推进并最终完成,也反映了国家化进程中湘西苗疆地方的权力互动情势。

In the early years during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing(1760-1820AD)in Qing Dynasty,the social order of the Miao area in Xiangxi(western Hunan Province)was gradually restored from the rebellion of the Miao people in the previous years,the initiate of 'Jun Tian Tun Fang(farming and defense)' was therefore fully implemented by local officials as the most important measure to govern the Miao area.However,in this process,Fu Nai,the Deputy Magistrate of Fenghuang Town and Yan Guangju,the Deputy Magistrate of Qianzhou Town,two officials managing the affairs in Miao areas together in Xiangxi,launched fierce debates on the necessity,the rules and the scope of the operation of field cultivating and safeguarding in Qianzhou Town.This controversy helped settle the disagreement among local officials of Miao area in Xiangxi over the same issue,which not only promoted and completed the construction of the entire system of farming and defense in the Miao area,but also reflected the power interaction of the Miao aera in the process of nationalization.
