The Evolution of Agricultural Tax Rates in Shaanxi, 1368-1953<\/strong><\/p>\n This report mainly discusses Shaanxi prefectures\u2019 recording methods and data interpretation of population, landholdings, land tax, and corv\u00e9e at the sub-county level from 1368 to 1953, drawing on three versions of Shaanxi Tongzhi (General Gazetteer of Shaanxi) from Jiajing (Ming), Yongzheng (Qing) and Republican eras, combined with supplementary materials. Through systematic analysis, we constructed a database tracking population, land, tax, and corv\u00e9e across sub-counties of Shaanxi from 1368 to 1953, enabling analysis of agricultural tax components and rates in four prefectures during the Ming and Qing dynasties.Our findings indicate that Ming and Qing administrations implemented the \u201coriginal quota doctrine\u201d over the long term, resulting in persistently low tax rates for centuries. Within this framework, tax categories and amounts remained largely fixed, which ensured stable fiscal revenue while revealing the state\u2019s limited capacity to extract taxes.<\/p>\n Shuji Cao\u2019s co-author: Yi Pang<\/p>\n 1368-1953\u5e74\u965d\u897f\u8fb2\u696d\u7a05\u7387\u7684\u6f14\u8b8a<\/strong><\/p>\n \u672c\u5831\u544a\u4e3b\u8981\u4f9d\u64da\u5609\u9756\u3001\u96cd\u6b63\u3001\u6c11\u570b\u5e74\u9593\u7684\u4e09\u7a2e\u300a\u965d\u897f\u901a\u5fd7\u300b\u53ca\u5176\u4ed6\u8cc7\u6599\uff0c\u8a73\u7d30\u8a0e\u8ad6\u4e861368-1953\u5e74\u4e0d\u540c\u6587\u737b\u5c0d\u65bc\u965d\u897f\u5404\u5e9c\u5206\u7e23\u4eba\u53e3\u3001\u7530\u755d\u3001\u7530\u8ce6\u3001\u5fad\u5f79\u6578\u64da\u7684\u8a18\u8f09\u65b9\u5f0f\u53ca\u5167\u6db5\uff0c\u7e7c\u800c\u69cb\u5efa1368-1953\u5e74\u965d\u897f\u5206\u7e23\u4eba\u53e3\u3001\u7530\u755d\u3001\u7530\u8ce6\u3001\u5fad\u5f79\u8cc7\u6599\u5eab\uff0c\u6700\u5f8c\u5c0d\u660e\u6e05\u6642\u671f\u965d\u897f\u56db\u5e9c\u7684\u8fb2\u696d\u7a05\u69cb\u6210\u8207\u8fb2\u696d\u7a05\u7387\u5c55\u958b\u5206\u6790\u3002 \u672c\u5831\u544a\u8a8d\u70ba\uff0c\u660e\u6e05\u653f\u5e9c\u9577\u671f\u5949\u884c\u300c\u539f\u984d\u4e3b\u7fa9\u300d\uff0c\u6210\u5c31\u4e86\u6301\u7e8c\u6578\u4e16\u7d00\u7684\u8f03\u4f4e\u7a05\u7387\u3002 \u5728\u300c\u539f\u984d\u4e3b\u7fa9\u300d\u7684\u6846\u67b6\u4e2d\uff0c\u7a05\u7a2e\u3001\u7a05\u984d\u5927\u9ad4\u4e0d\u8b8a\uff0c\u570b\u5bb6\u8ca1\u653f\u6536\u5165\u7a69\u5b9a\uff0c\u6c72\u53d6\u7a05\u6536\u80fd\u529b\u4f4e\u4e0b\u3002<\/p>\n \u5171\u540c\u4f5c\u8005\uff1a\u9f90\u6bc5<\/p>\n *This lecture will be conducted in Mandarin.<\/p>\n Date: May 21, 2025<\/p>\n Time: 12:30 – 14:00 Venue: May Hall, HKU Campus<\/p>\n Language: Mandarin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-235429","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","seminar-categories-quantitative-history-series-sc","event-natures-seminar-calendar","event-natures-sc-economics-seminar-seminar-calendar"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/235429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/235429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235497,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/235429\/revisions\/235497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/sc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
