Provincial system.

Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a new administrative division system has emerged in China, and its highest administrative division unit is the province (referred to as the province), so it is called the provincial system period, which lasted from the late 13th century to the early 20th century, through the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, the whole country was divided into Zhongshu Province, Xuanzheng Yuan, and 10 Zhongshu provinces. There are roads, states (governments), and counties under the province, and the roads are under the management of the province. Some prefectures and prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the road, some are under the jurisdiction of the province, and some are under the jurisdiction of the government.

Some counties are under the management of roads, some are under the management of the government, and some are under the management of the state.

The area directly under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province, called "belly", includes Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, and parts of Henan and Inner Mongolia, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province and does not belong to any province. The full name of "Xingzhongshu Province" is "XX and other places Xingzhongshu Province", referred to as "XX Xingzhongshu Province" or "XX Xingzhongshu Province".

1. The local administrative system of the Yuan Dynasty was a provincial system. The characteristics of the provincial system are:

1. The province has a dual character, which is not only the dispatch agency of the imperial court, but also the highest administrative body of the locality. This is conducive to strengthening the ties between the country and the localities, and consolidating the unity of the country and the integration of nationalities.

2. The provincial system not only concentrates power in the local government, but also sets aside part of the power to the local government to achieve a balance between the provincial government and local forces.

3. The leadership system of the province is a combination of multiple members of one agency and the moderation of the governor. This is conducive to mutual restraint, that is, it can be said to be a leadership mode that combines collective leadership and democratic centralism.

4. The power of the province is large but not authoritarian, and it has successfully solved the habit of local forces sitting on the throne.

2. The reasons for the implementation of the provincial system in the Yuan Dynasty:

1. The temperance implemented in the Tang Dynasty led to the decentralization of power, national turmoil, and the Song Dynasty completely abolished all military attache positions and was held by civilian officials, which was too absolute. Summing up historical experience, the Yuan Dynasty implemented the provincial system.

2. In line with the historical conditions at that time, China's territory during the Yuan Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast, in order to better manage the country, deal with the relationship between the local government and the state, and make the power return. The rights were not divided and the stability of the country was maintained, and the Yuan Dynasty implemented the provincial system. In turn, the state can be better controlled and managed.

Third, the role of the provincial system:

The provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty is a major development of the county system since the Qin Dynasty, which is conducive to the consolidation of a unified multi-ethnic state, and has a profound impact on the political system of the Ming and Qing dynasties and later years. In a unified multi-ethnic country, contacts and ties among various ethnic groups have been further strengthened, and a situation of national integration has emerged for the first time in the history of our country.
