The Hidden Land
“The Hidden Land” means that a large amount of land in the Ming dynasty
(1368–1644) was “hidden” or unknown, since the land was managed by both
the administrative and the military systems, and only the former was made
public while the latter was being hidden due to confidentiality issues. This is
one of the author’s creative findings as a result of his solid textual research
and rigorous argumentation.
Since the Ming state management system had a great impact on the land,
the population, the taxes and corvée, the imperial examinations, the jus-
tice, the grassroots organizations and the frontier ethnics during the 500
years from Ming to Qing (1636–1912), the views on the garrisons and guards
(weisuo) in the military system are of great help to review the essential is-
sues of the period, which were often misunderstood or neglected before. In
addition, the author introduces the present situation, existing problems and
basic historical materials in the Ming study which will be beneficial to the
Ming researchers and enthusiasts.
