Lijiang Prefecture Gazetteer, Abridged — Volume 6
This excerpt from Juan 6 of the Lijiang Prefecture Gazetteer, Abridged, opens with the tail of the Taxation chapter carried over from Juan 5: itemized tax quotas (livestock, tea, land), salaries and staff allotments for the prefect and his civil and military subordinates, temple-sacrifice and school-stipend funds, charity-home allowances, garrison pay, and a closing admonition on the gap between meager local revenue and the prefecture's real expenses. It then presents the "Officials and Teachers" chapter: a history of Lijiang's administrative offices from the Song/Yuan through the Qing; a roster of appointed prefects, sub-prefects, registrars, instructors, and salt-tax superintendents with their origins, examination credentials, and tenures; biographies of six Notable Officials, including the Mongol general Uriyangqadai and the two school-founders Kong Xingxun and Wei Fangtai; the genealogy of the native Mu chieftain house and other now-abolished native offices; and ethnographic notes on ten peoples of the region, including the Moso, Tibetans (Xifan), Nu, and Bai (Bo).
