The Han Dynasty Sent A Follow-up Study

"Sending the messengers making an inspection tour ” was that emperor temporarily dispatched messengers to county regions when emergencies happen in these places. It originated from the Chow dynasty dispatching the messengers collecting the poems to view the system of customs, evolving in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Chin Dynasty. In the Han dynasty, as a temporary political system, it made up for the deficiency of the national administrative function. It was fluid in number and frequency and some dynasty had blank and breakpoints, which was closely related to the social political situation.Its content was very extensive, such as viewing customs, promoting education,asking people suffering, supervision and management, disaster relief and so on,playing an important role in the social life in the Han dynasty. Due to the contradiction between the central and local, as one of the basic contradiction in the centralized system for the moderation and balance between them, the rulers of feudal dynasties unremitting exploration, and "Sending the messengers making an inspection tour "became an effective way that the central supervised the local place; With influence of the Confucian classics, it had strong Confucianism color. This system in the Han dynasty had a relatively complete set of works, which was yet to mature.It had a profound impact on political life of Han dynasty and the political system of future generations. However, it also existed defects such as local burden,falsification, counterfeiting ballads, and we should should use two sides to view it.
