| description | This archival document is an official treasury receipt issued by the Commissioner of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-sixth year of the Qianlong reign (1772 CE). It records the receipt of silver payments from the Western Resident Magistrates (Xiyang Lizhiguan), specifically naming An Lido as one of the contributors. The sum deposited into the county treasury comprises two distinct fiscal items: 500 taels of silver designated as land rent for Macau (Houjing’ao) and 15 taels allocated for the maintenance of magistrates and clerks (Yuan Si Yanglian yin). The document bears multiple official seals—including a red circular seal of indeterminate inscription and a red square seal reading ‘Seal of Xiangshan County’—and includes marginal annotations identifying it as an ‘Official Treasury Receipt’ and noting compliance ‘in accordance with instructions’. Issued under the authority of a high-ranking county official holding four additional ranks and augmented rank status, and recorded seven times for meritorious service, the receipt serves as formal verification of fiscal transfer between local administrative bodies in the Qing imperial bureaucracy. Its provenance is confirmed by the archival reference T34 and pagination (page 346, entry 1472). This primary source is of significant value for scholarly research into Qing-era taxation, Sino-Portuguese administrative relations in Macau, local governance structures in Guangdong, and the financial mechanisms underpinning frontier jurisdiction during the eighteenth century. |
