| Summary: | This official placard (pai), issued on the 17th day of the 5th lunar month in the 7th year of the Qianlong reign (1742) by the Office of the Assistant Magistrate (Zuotang) of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, records administrative directives arising from a judicial case involving Zhang Dayou—a man of unknown origin delivered to Hepu County authorities by the local garrison alongside foreign-language documents (fan shu) and silver coinage—and two other individuals, Huang Hanchen and Zhang Zonggu. The document details hierarchical administrative review by the Provincial Judicial Commissioner (Anchasi), the Left Censor-in-Chief and Governor-General of Guangdong, Wang, and the Acting Magistrate of Xiangshan County, Feng Can, culminating in orders for the repatriation and strict surveillance of all three men to their native counties—Shixing and elsewhere—and prohibiting their travel to Macau under penalty of severe punishment. It further mandates formal admonition of foreign residents (Yi), prohibition of Chinese subjects in Guangdong from carrying correspondence for foreigners or travelling abroad at foreign behest, and the public destruction in open court of seized foreign-language documents and associated materials, including those linked to the Hunan native ‘Chiluoduo’—a transliterated Portuguese or Macanese name—and other foreign parties. The placard is formally addressed to the foreign headman (Yi mu) for immediate enforcement. |
