Description

Explore a new perspective on Ming Dynasty history with "The Hidden Land: The Garrison System and the Ming Dynasty." This scholarly work by Routledge examines how a significant portion of land during the Ming period (1368-1644) remained unknown to the public. While administrative systems were documented, the military management of land was kept confidential, creating a "hidden" landscape that shaped the era. Through rigorous textual research and argumentation, the author reveals how this dual management system affected the core functions of the state. Understanding this hidden land is essential for anyone studying the history of China, as it directly influenced population distribution, tax collection, and corvee labor. This book provides a deep look into how military secrecy impacted the imperial examinations, the justice system, and grassroots organization during one of China's most significant dynasties.
