What is the current village head equivalent to the Qing Dynasty?
Li Zheng is equivalent to the current village head. The village system in China is generally divided into two stages: the first stage is the village official system, and the second stage is the vocational service system. Compared with the traditional "gentry rule mode" in China, this is a great progress, but it is not enough for GAI. In the first stage mentioned by Bai Gang, the grass-roots administration implemented a dual-track system. One track is the officials of the township library, and the other track is the three elders, Li Zheng, social slaughter, wine sacrifice and so on. The latter is also a service in essence. The combination of the two should be said to be a system of "township officials+services". After the abolition of township officials in Sui and Tang Dynasties, it completely turned to the service system of "calligrapher+Li Zheng (head of household, president, township, etc.). ) ".The former belongs to the conscription service, which is an integral part of the county petty officials who master professional knowledge, and often the father and son attack each other or serve as mentors; The latter belongs to officers, and "each household makes up the difference", usually by rotation, drawing lots or raising funds to hire people. The turning point of clothing system was not in the middle of Tang Dynasty, but in Song Dynasty. The Qing people once explained: "Generally speaking, it is the job of the literati to govern their hometown, and the people serve the officials."
