The Li-fan Yuan was a central government agency of the Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911) which dealt with Inner Asian affairs. This dissertation argues that it was not, as has usually been assumed, simply a diplomatic office intended to receive foreign dignitaries. Rather, as designed by the Manchu rulers, it was a large and complex agency, with its own field administration, intended to rule Inner Asian societies as fully internal components of the empire. As such, it brought about radical economic, social, and political changes throughout Inner Asia, and within China as well.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The Li-fan Yuan was a central government agency of the Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911) which dealt with Inner Asian affairs. This dissertation argues that it was not, as has usually been assumed, simply a diplomatic office intended to receive foreign dignitaries. Rather, as designed by the Manchu rulers, it was a large and complex agency, with its own field administration, intended to rule Inner Asian societies as fully internal components of the empire. As such, it brought about radical economic, social, and political changes throughout Inner Asia, and within China as well.
520 $a Attempting to transcend the narrow political analyses in the field, this study discusses the multiple functions of the Li-fan Yuan and suggests that the interplay of those functions led the Manchus to succeed in incorporating the non-Chinese Mongols, Tibetans and Uighirs into the Great Ch'ing Empire. The administrative functions of the Li-fan Yuan brought the Inner Asian local leaders into the imperial bureaucracy, allowing direct political control by the Manchu court. The cultural functions of the Li-fan Yuan, in the ritual forms of Pilgrimage to the emperor, the Imperial Hunt, and the Tribute, created the symbolic relationship underlying Inner Asians' recognition of Ch'ing political authority. The Manchus' religious policy bridged the gap in spiritual life between Lamaist believers (the Tibetans and the Mongols) and the majority non-Lamaist believers of the Ch'ing empire. The Li-fan Yuan's work in Inner Asian language education created a professional translation class in the Ch'ing bureaucracy and promoted the cultural communication that an integrated multi-national empire needed. The economic functions of the Li-fan Yuan shielded the Inner Asian societies from the shortage of material necessities due to the fragile ecological environment, and tied the Inner Asian nomadic pastoral economy to the Chinese agricultural economy by expanding and routinizing exchange between the two sides.
520 $a In discussing such important theoretical issues as the relation of nomadic and agrarian societies, the "Chinese world order" under an alien people like the Manchus, sinocentrism in the Ch'ing dynasty, and the understanding of the Great Wall "frontier zone" between Chinese and non-Chinese peoples, this study argues that under the Li-fan Yuan's management, the imperial government no longer played the passive role in Inner Asian affairs as it had in earlier Chinese dynasties, and the so-called "barbarians" in Inner Asia were never again viewed by the Chinese as people excluded from the "Middle Kingdom".
