The word "jun", Congyi, Junsheng. The original meaning of the monarch is supreme, and the place where the monarchy is governed by the army is the county. The word "county" is held from the department to the inverted head, and the inverted head is to hang. "Hanging" and "county" were common in ancient times. The county and the king city are separated by thousands of miles, taking the meaning of remoteness. The king of Chuzhuang destroyed Chen and set up the county, and the name of the county began.
"Shuowen" said: Zhou system, the emperor is thousands of miles away, divided into 100 counties, the county has four counties. "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" said: Those who defeat the enemy, the doctor will receive the county, and the doctor will receive the county; it shows that the county is greater than the county in the early Spring and Autumn Period. In 350 BC, Qin State Shang Yang reformed, moved its capital to Xianyang, and set up 31 counties. Later, the law became stronger, and the annexation took a thousand miles: in 327 BC, the Qin Dynasty destroyed Xirong and set up Yiqu County; in 278 BC, Zhanying City was set up as Nanjun; in 277 BC, Qianzhong County was established in central Guizhou; and set in 272 BC Nanyang County; Shanchuan County was established in 249 BC; Taiyuan County was established in 248 BC; East County was established in 242 BC; Yingchuan County was established in 230 BC; Chu County was established in 223 BC; Kuaiji was established in 222 BC county. By 221 BC, Qin annexed the world.
Qin Shihuang adopted Li Si's suggestion and divided the world into thirty-six prefectures. The county set up guards, lieutenants, and prison officers. Three years later, the land of southern Vietnam was conquered, and Guilin County, Nanhai County, and Xiang County were added. At the same time, land south of Hetao was collected and forty-four counties were set up. It is to dominate the world, and you're done.
The jurisdiction of the county belongs to the original version without customization, and it is replaced by generation. After the Qin unified the world, a two-level system of prefectures and counties was established, and prefectures were larger than counties. Inherited after the Han Dynasty, the county was changed to a government in the Song Dynasty, and the county system was abolished. After the Qin and Han dynasties, the chief executive of the county was called the magistrate of the county with more than 10,000 households, and the county magistrate below 10,000. The counties in the Tang Dynasty are divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, so they are no longer called lings and longs. In the Song Dynasty, it was called Zhimou County Affairs, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was called County Yin. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was called Zhixian, Zhengqipin, commonly known as "Sesame Official".
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, counties and counties were established in various countries to consolidate their borders. Because the land of Kinki and the fertile land have been divided, the counties and counties are set up to manage the land separated by thousands of miles. After Qin ruled the world, the prime minister said: "The places of Yan, Qi, and Jing are far away. If there is no king, they cannot be guarded. Please make them kings." Qin Shihuang handed over the matter to his ministers for discussion. For one, set up counties and counties to keep the world peaceful forever. The system of prefectures and counties denies the system of enfeoffment, emphasizing the centralization of power and ensuring the smooth flow of government orders. It is indeed superior to the feudal system and won the approval of Qin Shihuang. But Qin Shihuang wanted to prevent division and eliminate chaos by implementing the system of prefectures and counties, and to protect the peace of the country and society forever. Isn't it a whimsical idea?
