Policy Governance

The article explores how the central government in Old China influenced local self-government. From the Han Dynasty to the early 20th century, the central government evolved while local self-government in villages, families, and guilds also existed. Lower government officials played a role in supporting the central government in administrative and judicial matters. Overall, the central government had a significant impact on local governance in Old China, except for minor political issues.
