| Summary: | This abstract describes an official placard (pái) issued on the 12th day of the ninth lunar month in the tenth year of the Qianlong reign (1745) by the Office of the Deputy Magistrate (Zuǒtáng) of Xiangshan County, signed by Ji Kūn. The document constitutes the county’s second submission concerning compliance with a multi-tiered imperial administrative chain originating from the Ministry of War (Bīng Bù), Office of Chariots and Horses (Chējià Sī), which reported that Patrol Inspector Xiàng Sùhéng had delivered four Westerners—Jiǎng Jiāorén, Wú Zhífāng, Fù Qǐméng, and Nà Yǒngfú—to the capital for presentation to the relevant ministry and subsequent transfer to the Imperial Household Department (Nèiwù Fǔ). The placard transmits formal instructions down the bureaucratic hierarchy—from the Ministry of War, via the Provincial Administration Commission (Bùzhèng Shǐ Sī), Prefectural Administration, and County Magistrate Jiang Pī—to the designated foreign headman (Yí mù), directing strict observance of orders requiring his compliance. Marginalia indicate archival numbering (381) and registration (Dēngjì Hàomǎ), while seals and annotations reflect contemporary administrative processing. The document exemplifies Qing-era bureaucratic protocol for managing foreign presence at the local level and provides primary evidence of institutional responses to Western individuals within the Guangdong maritime frontier during the mid-eighteenth century. |
