The Dilemma of Administrative Division Adjustment and its Corresponding Strategies in Guizhou during the Ming Dynasty
By the administrative division system of"interlocking"and"overlapping",the Ming dynasty quickly stabilized the situation in the newly established Guizhou province,but many inconveniences to the subsequent management of the local area showed up at the same time.In order to streamline the complex management relationships and gradually promote local land reform at that time,some officials in Guizhou advocated adjusting the unreasonable administrative division.From one side,this adjustment involves the distribution of interests,so the central government worried about a possibility of triggering internal strife;from another side,the obstruction of neighboring provincial officials and local chieftains who expected that the adjustment of administrative divisions would cause damage to their own interests.These were the biggest obstacles to the adjustment of administrative divisions in Guizhou.As a result,official could only gradually adjust the inside administrative divisions,which had prominent issues,through a gradual and adaptive approach.Although these administrative division troubles could not be completely resolved in Guizhou during the Ming dynasty,the efforts of officials provided important impetus for the development of local society and the improvement of local systems.
