The Provincial Supervisory Censor System In The Ming Dynasty

The provincial supervisory censor system in the Ming dynasty is the representative work of ancient supervision system in China.As an important part of the supervision system in the Ming Dynasty,the provincial supervisory censor system is the product of the Ming Dynasty rulers to closely monitor and control the local officials and then consolidate the feudal imperial power.The theoretical guidance of monitoring ideas,the experience and lessons of the power supervision of the dynasties,and the influence of changes in the political structure during the founding of the Ming Dynasty provided favorable conditions for the creation and improvement of the censor system.The establishment and development of the provincial supervisory censor system in the Ming Dynasty was closely related to politics.During the period from Emperor Hongwu to Emperor Yongle,the ruler of the emperor took good care of his people and the censor system appeared by the governance.From the early period of Renzong to Yingzong,this system tends to be perfect because those who were in power were either monarchs or elites.By the late Ming Dynasty,the censor's power began to swell,gradually to lose control and this system presents a series of abuses.The provincial censor system has been declining and it has been destroyed together with the imperial power in the Ming Dynasty.In the establishment and development of the imperial history system in the Ming dynasty,the design of the operation mechanism was very scientific.It attached importance to the responsibility to censor,rejection of the censor,Emperor's appointment,patrol matters.This system played a significant positive role in the early Ming dynasty.For example,the independent action,flexible monitoring methods,patrol censor system specification design and implementation in place,which all make the monitoring effect more just and objective.However,its operation is difficult to maintain in a bad political environment,which is not conducive to political stability and long-term development.In short,it has many references and inspirations to the reform of modern supervision system in our country,including that the supervision institution must be independent,the supervision regulations should be carried out,the supervision personnel should be listed separately,the supervisory mode should be diversified.
