Yangzhou was an important area since the ancient economic center moved to south,of which the development started since Han Dynasties. There were a lot of reasons that urged its economic development, of which local officials played a great role.This text lists officials in Han Dynasties who were recorded in historical documents. The officials of each dynasty were listed one by one according to periods and positions in the order of Yangzhou county, Lujiang county, Jiujiang county, Danyang county,Kuaiji county(including Wu county in the Eastern Han Dynasty), Yuzhang county. And try to find out their years of birth and death ,and anecodotes during their offical terms.Their effects to local development were induced three parts.First,in the local ceonomic development and social sxability. Officials taught local people how to till the farm by cow and how to use iron plough. So the mode of production was changed into the iron age. The economy in Yangzhou had a substantial development, especially the emergence of getting foodstuff from south to north is the prelude of economic center. In order to solve the problem of refugees,the local official adopted more active measures. That maintained the social stability as well as brought into a great labour force.Second,in custom changing and the culture development. Yangzhou had an ingrained less civilised conventions. Until the Eastern Han still delivers fight, believing sorcery ghost. Local officials carried out reformations resolutely to cut off the breeze of believing ghost. They developed school education strongly to raise people's character. This aroused many scholars to open private schools, promote teachings Confucianism. All these changed people's old idea to think the Yangzhou is "the talented person is seldom" and "vulgar thin area" gradually.Last,in restructuring officials and repressing revolutions. the politics and military side. Since the constitution that provincial governors chiefed to places under their jurisdiction was set up,Yangzhou got the succession in restructuring officials,add of not a few officials were probity, so Yangzhou's political environment is clear. In Western Han Dynasty,Yangzhou had no big warfare. With social contradictions becoming acute in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yangzhou bursted out revolutions continuously, local officials adopted propitiation or repression to calm these revolutions down. Saying from a certain meaning that kept the economic harvests in the last years .When Central Plain was disorder,Yangzhou can still become one square paradise.Certainly, not all Yangzhou's officials were honest ,calling up"good officials " has 1/5 . We are analytical the contribution of this part of officials. We can get some beneficial apocalypses from the analysis,such as how to strengthen the officials' morals construction, how to perfect the mechanism of local supervision still have realistic meaning.
