The History and Department Setup of the General Administration Department

Secretary of General Administration, official signature. In the Ming Dynasty, “Tongzhengshi” was established, referred to as “Tongzhengsi”, and its chief was “Tongzhengshi”. In the Qing Dynasty, it was set up to hold internal and external chapters and subjects’ sealed appeals. Commonly known as “Silver Terrace”.

In the Song Dynasty, there was Tongjin Yintai Division (later changed to Chengjin Division), also known as Yintai. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Tongzhengshisi, and a Tongzhengshi was set up, responsible for matters such as internal and external rules and regulations, and subjects’ sealed appeals. There is one Tongzheng Envoy, who is the third rank; one left and one right Tongzheng, who is the fourth rank; one left and one right counselor, who is the fifth rank, etc. All the ministers of the imperial court, the prisons, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the envoys of the government also participated in the discussion.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were one Manchu and one Han as general envoys; one deputy envoy, one Manchu and one Han, with the same rank as the Ming Dynasty. However, this yamen had no real power in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ming “Yuan Keli Jinzhi Military Department Youshilang couple’s letter”: “Xiao Juanai asked for a thousand gold, so the sword was ordered in the previous dynasty, and the talisman was stumbled at the Biji Temple. The bamboo punishment is exposed, and the Yintai flower sentence is clouded.”
