A Study Of Documents On The Official System From Han To The Northern And Southern Dynasties

The study of the nature and style of the official system literature of the Han,Wei,Jin and North and South Dynasties reveals that there is an inherent trend of change in the way the official system literature is written,which is subjectively due to the cognitive differences between the subjects of writing,and objectively is closely related to the changes in the writing culture of the official system and the increasing improvement of the organization of state power during the Wei,Jin and North and South Dynasties.This paper defines the official system documents of the two Han dynasties and the Wei-Jin-North and South Dynasties into the following three categories:First,the official system titles in history books.During the Eastern Han period,such books were in the form of"official lists".Since the Three Kingdoms,history books have either followed the "Book of Han" and set up a "Table of Officials" or created a new example by setting up a "Records of the Official Ranks".Secondly,writings on the official system.Since the Wei and Jin dynasties,the form of "accompanying notes" has become more common in official histories,starting with the "Continuing Hanshu-Hundred Officials".Thirdly,the official system documents in the official documents.This kind of literature is a visual reflection of the operation of the state official system,and it is also an important source of the above two official system documents.Through the combing of the nature and style of official documents in the Han,Wei,Jin and North and South Dynasties,it can be found that the way of compiling official documents has changed a lot since Wei and Jin.First of all,the "list of 100 officials" was gradually replaced by "hundred officials",and the official system occupied a place in the history book"Zhishu",which is related to the rise of the study of system at the end of Han Dynasty,and scholars gradually regarded the official system as an important part of the state system.This is closely related to the rise of the science of system at the end of Han Dynasty,and scholars gradually regarded the official system as an important part of the state system.Secondly,the official system was recorded in the official histories of the southern dynasties of the Wei and Jin dynasties by means of the "accompanying annotations",which originated from the culture of "annotating books" since the Eastern Han dynasty and the influence of the style of"Zhouli".The influence of the style of the Zhou Rites.Finally,the style of recording the official system was gradually changed from "to the official to store the division" to "to the division to store the official",which began to happen in the Western Jin Dynasty,and by the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties,the style of the division to store the official"had already been taken,The trend of "to the official to store the division" and replace it.The essential reason for this change is that since the end of the Han Dynasty and the Wei Jin Dynasty,the governmental organization established in the form of personal government was gradually replaced by a comprehensive institutionalized governmental organization,-the personal functions of the povernor were weakened,and the role of governmental institutions was gradually highlighted,and this change in the organizational form of government had a direct impact on the writing of official documents.
