| Summary: | This abstract describes an Imperial Edict issued on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the forty-first year of the Qianlong reign (1776), originating from the Macau Customs Office under the authority of the Qing imperial administration. The document is a formal administrative injunction addressed to foreign merchants—including Tó Lái Duō and Lóluōduō—and directed at Portuguese officials operating in Macau, notably the foreign headman (yí mù) Anlaiduo (An-lai-to) and Vileto (Wei Lai Duo), as well as junior clerks (lóu luō). It concerns the vessel *Qiu Bo Luo Shen Ya Li* (also referenced as *Ji Bo Luo Shen Ya Li* or *Chibolosheniali*), registered number 21, which was detained at Macau, damaged by a gale, and subsequently wrecked off Costa Rica. The edict mandates strict enforcement of longstanding customs regulations requiring classification and duty assessment of all Portuguese vessels—new and existing—based on beam measurement (liangtou) and dimensions, rejecting exemptions for small craft. It orders immediate recovery of outstanding vessel duties, assigns direct accountability to designated Portuguese intermediaries, threatens suspension of trade permits and official correspondence for non-compliance, and requires a formal report detailing implementation. The document bears two official seals: a red circular imperial seal over the character 諭 and a red rectangular seal inscribed ‘Official Seal of the Macau Captaincy’. |
