明初国家积极展开基层社会控制制度体系建设,这些制度体系既包括纯粹以控制为目标的制度体系,也包括从表面上看非以控制为目的但对基层社会稳定起重要作用的辅助制度体系。两类制度体系体现了刚性和柔性结合、控制和预防配伍的特点,对明前期自然经济发展起到了有效保障作用。这些制度体系既继承了唐、宋制度和文化成果,更有时代体现和推进发展,从而使明代的基层控制制度体系具有自己的特色。 At the beginning of the Ming dynasty, the state actively carried out the construction of a system of grass-roots social control. These system systems include not only the system of institutions that aim solely at control but also the system of ancillary systems which ostensibly plays an important role in controlling non-control but at the grass-roots level. The two types of institutional system embody the characteristics of combination of rigidity and flexibility, control and prevention and compatibility, and effectively guarantee the development of natural economy in the early stage of Ming Dynasty. These institutional systems not only inherit the Tang and Song regimes and cultural achievements, but also embody and promote development in a more time-bound manner so that the system of grassroots control in the Ming Dynasty has its own characteristics.
