Graduate student in Chinese history, specializing in the institutional and
social history of the middle and late Ming dynasty (1550-1620). I study
the county magistracy, for which I have found a number of unusual
sources. The county magistrate was the lowest centrally appointed
official, so local interests met central interests within his
administration. His underlings, the clerks, were reputed to be
one of the most corrupt groups in China and it is interesting to
see how the magistrate deals with them.
