After the Manchu conquered Ming Dynasty, it had been important for the emperor to deal with problems derived from multi-ethnic groups. “Administration according to minorities’ cultures” had always been the main direction when governing frontier region. However, with consideration of feasibility in current situation, Yongzheng emperor had extensively implemented the policy, “gaituguiliu”, in order to reinforce the governance of the Miao frontier; though, the policy was not as promising as it might have seemed. Rebellions and resistance kept taking place without ease. From the perspective of the emperors and administrators, the chaos of the Miao frontier should be attributed to the “Hanjian”. The Hanjian came and left the region of Miao without being controlled and even colluded with or harmed Miao people. Consequently, Miao people who were regarded as “simple and naive” rebelled against the government and attacked the Hans. The government believed that only if they eliminate the Hanjian could they bring ease to the Miao frontier. Those perspectives made local administrators paid great attention to cases related to the Hanjian, which were also concerned by the emperors. Interestingly, the meaning and definition of Hanjian in early and middle Qing Dynasty, which was mention above are different in modern times. The Hanjian are regarded as betrayers who collude with foreigners in modern times. However, the meanings of the Hanjian mentioned in official documents from early and middle Qing Dynasty were more complex and diverse, which will be discussed and organized in this paper. With this effort, we could gain a better understanding about the changing definition and meaning of the Hanjian through time, the strategy of ruling frontier, and reflection of the relationship among different ethnic groups in Qing Empire. |
