Wooden Slips from "Jibu" of Donghai County in Western Han Dynasty

西汉东海郡《集簿》木牍

  During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the system in which the local government reported to the court on the basic situation of the local social economy and fiscal revenues and expenditures over the past year was called the accounting system. The "Jibu", "Donghai County Officials Book", and "Donghai County Officials Appraisal Book" unearthed from Yinwan Han Tomb are all materials related to shangji, which provide so far for the study of the shangji system in the Han Dynasty. The importance of the first physical model is self-evident.

  The "Book of Records" includes four parts: the establishment of local administrative agencies and the deployment of staff; the number of household registration, gender and age structure, the resettlement of refugees; the increase or decrease in the area of the Tifeng, the country of Hou Guoyi, and the area of the wheat field and the mulberry field; the entry and exit of the money valley. The contents of "Jibu" are concise and comprehensive, but 700 words cover the administrative establishment and staffing of Donghae County, agricultural economy, civil affairs, finance and other aspects, as well as comprehensive statistics of 22 projects. This set of data reflects in detail the social patterns of all levels in the late Western Han Dynasty.
