Abstract

This paper analyzes the provincial administration of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in the early and late periods, and how it changed over time in response to various factors. The paper argues that the provincial administration underwent significant transformations that reflected the changing conditions of the Ming empire, and that these transformations had both positive and negative impacts on the Ming government and society. The paper provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the provincial administration in both periods, and contributes to the literature and debates on Ming history and administration. The paper also suggests some implications and directions for further research.
