The Study Of Gongbu Zeli’Regulations On Engineering

The Gongbu zeli in the Qing Dynasty refers to the regulations about official engineering made by Gongbu which was one of the administrative agencies in the Qing Dynasty. Gongbu zeli adapated to the Qing Dynasty’official engineering and as an important part of the engineering legislation,it was paid high attention by the ruling class starting from the Yongzheng period to the late Qing period.The engineering practice method of Gongbu was the early time of the complilation of Gongbu zeli.Along with the Wuliao jiazhi zeli in Qianlong and the Qingding gongbu zeli as well as the Qingding gongbu xuzeng zeli in Jiaqing were made, the complilation of Gongbu zeli came to its high point. At the time, the code became more clear and reasonable as well as more complete. In the compilation of the structure, it was identified by Gongbu’departments such as Yingshansi and Dushuisi as the outline, then according to the engineering category item list the rules. In the content, the engineering practice method and material prices complement each other. By regulating the appraise rules and the spending of material and labour, the material preparation and management, Gongbu zeli did regulate the official engineering’cost. The appraise procedures include two parts:the appraise and the submit. According to Wuliao jiazhi zeli, the officer estimated the labour and material cost, then presented the emperor or the Gongbu for approval. On estimation the spending of material and labour, this paper mainly to give an example of building a wall to analysis. According to operation methods in Gongbu zeli and the "quantity quota", material and labour required were got. Coupled with the Wuliao jiazhi zeli’prices of material and labour, finally we got the total cost. To match above operation, material preparation and the management system required from shopping, transportationas well as using to strictly comply. On the other hand, the Gongbu zeli made corresponding legal responsibilities. Besides its regulations on cost, the Gongbu zeli in Qing Dynasty also made the provisions of the warranty system and service system:set all kinds of official project warranty period, guaranteed the annual repairs and made quality problems associated with administrative and criminal responsibilities. As a result, it strengthen the construction quality. The implementation of the Gongbu zeli in the Qing Dynasty, made the goal of the ruling class to regulate the official engineering achieved and ensured that the birth of a large number of remarkable project. Gongbu zeli reveals that the official engineering regulation system in Qing Dynasty were set up similarly with contemporary construction management control system. Thus, it inspire us to grasp its instrinsic scientific nature when making professional stronger legislation.
