Miswriting in the Drafting of Qing Dynasty Documents:A Case Study Based on the Collection of Qing Dynasty Archives in the First Historical Archives of China
The use of archival texts to analyze examples of miswriting in the drafting stage of the Qing Dynasty documents is a process of revitalizing the content of historical archives,which helps to achieve the goal of constructing an archival utilization system during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.By integrating the relevant archives in the collection of the First Historical Archives of China,it was found that the errors in the drafting of official documents during the Qing Dynasty can be roughly divided into number errors,name errors,taboo errors,and other errors.Although multiple officials jointly controlled the drafting of documents,due to the concealment of writing errors,excessive avoidance regulations,and unclear preliminary investigations,many errors were not detected by relevant officials.When faced with such cases,the Qing ruling group would make comprehensive judgments based on factors such as laws and regulations,emperor's wishes,and self-disclosure,which may result in different punishment outcomes for the same type of cases.
