Description

The Hidden Land reveals a groundbreaking discovery about land management during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), uncovering vast territories that remained unknown to public record because they were controlled by both administrative and military systems. While administrative records were openly documented, military land management was kept confidential, creating what the author terms 'hidden land.' This scholarly work, published by Routledge as part of the China Perspectives series, presents rigorous textual research and argumentation demonstrating how the Ming state management system profoundly influenced land distribution, population records, tax collection, corvee labour, imperial examinations, justice administration, grassroots organisations and frontier governance. The book offers historians, scholars and students of Chinese history critical insight into how dual administrative structures shaped Ming Dynasty policy and society.

Key Features

The Hidden Land explores the Ming Dynasty garrison system and its impact on Chinese land management and state administration between 1368 and 1644.

Author's original research uncovers how military land management remained confidential whilst administrative records were publicly disclosed during the Ming period.

The book examines the garrison system's influence on taxation, population records, corvee labour allocation, imperial examinations and frontier governance.

Published by Routledge in the China Perspectives academic series for scholarly study of Chinese history and military organisation.

Combines textual analysis with rigorous argumentation to demonstrate how the Ming state management system affected grassroots organisations and justice administration.
