| description | This archival document is an official Qing dynasty administrative notice issued in the ninth month of the 32nd year of the Qianlong reign (October–November 1767) by the Acting Magistrate of the Guangzhou Prefectural Maritime Defence Military Administration, who also held the concurrent post of supernumerary county vice-magistrate (*xiancheng*) and had been granted one additional rank with meritorious service formally recorded. The notice is addressed to foreign heads (*Yi mu*) at Macau, specifically naming Luo Duo and others, and records the magistrate’s personal inspection visit to Macau on the sixth day of that lunar month to assess local conditions and administrative affairs. It formally instructs the named foreign officials to present themselves without delay for audience and official consultation, stipulating that all matters requiring attention or action must be duly addressed, and explicitly prohibits non-compliance. The document bears three red seals: a circular seal in the left margin identified as *Guangzhou Fu Hai Fang Jun Fu* (Guangzhou Prefectural Maritime Defence Military Administration); an illegible central seal within the main text; and an illegible seal in the top right corner. Marginal annotations confirm the date and archival references (356, 1464) and identify the document as page T25. This primary source provides direct evidence of Qing bureaucratic oversight of foreign residents in Macau during the mid-eighteenth century and reflects the formal protocols governing Sino-foreign administrative interaction under the Canton System. |
