| Summary: | This document comprises a historical transcription and translation of a composite archival file, catalogued under marks 496 and T68, held within the National Archive of the Tower of Tombo. Dated to the Qianlong 45th Year, April, with an internal edict dated the first day of May, the text features an imperial decree issued by the county official Liu of Zhānxīngxiàn to the residents of Macau, announcing his personal attendance for official business. Additionally, the file contains administrative directives ordering interpreters to instruct local officials to establish a Consulate office building and procure necessary furnishings, including chairs, tables, and beds. The transcription preserves original marginalia, rubrics, and physical descriptions of seals, folds, and damage, providing critical material context for the physical artefact. This primary source is highly relevant for scholars investigating imperial and colonial administrative relations, the logistical establishment of consular facilities in Macau, and the operational roles of interpreters in historical governance. |
