Changes in the Political Districts of South Xinjiang and the Selection of Grassroots Officials in the Late Qing Dynasty
After the control of Xinjiang was restored,Qing Dynasty established the Kashgar Dao(喀什噶step for the Xinjiang Province and a concrete manifestation of continuous deepening of the national political system in the border regions.Subsequent territorial expansions and adjustments based on the basic concepts of'Liang Di Zhi Yi'(量地置邑)and'Zhi Guang Yi Xia'(治广以狭),were specific responses to the border defense crisis,territorial crisis and governance crisis in the administrative setting under the drastic changes of the current situation.This move highlighted the role of the political district setups in consolidating the border and perfecting grassroots governance,while laying the foundational framework of current administrative divisions in southern Xinjiang.Alongside the setting of'Zheng Qu Fen Deng'(政策分等),there was a relatively mature system for the selection and appointment of officials,in order to maximize the achievement of local social governance on the'Ren Di Xiang Yi'(人地相宜).Despite the clear lack of hierarchical grades in the newly established political district,they did not do so according to the rules,and the'Zheng Qu Fen Deng'basically deviate from the selection of officials,which became the precursor of the national state and county'Ting Bu Xuan'(停部选)in 1908.
