晚清幕府是在近代中国面临千古未有之变局、清朝中央政府应对失灵的情况下,从地方大员幕府中应运而生的一种制度创新,并显示出其灵活机动、富有弹性的一面,汇聚人才,条综众务,充当了应急机制,担负起本该由国家正规体制承担的社会管理、安全保障和对外交往职能。由此发端,晚清幕府事务越来越多,权限越来越大,俨然地方权力中枢,既插手军政事务,又总揽洋务新政,不仅使清代地方官僚政治的骨架随之发生变化,而且其所经办的于古无征事业也给当时的中国带来了新气象、新局面,对晚清的政治、经济、文化和社会各方面都产生了深远而广泛的影响。然而,已有研究对晚清幕府的概念与内涵未能达成基本共识,往往自言自语,各说各话,相互矛盾不说,还造成名实相怨、反复研究等问题,不利于晚清幕府研究领域的拓展和提升。名不正则言不顺,很有必要在厘清晚清幕府名实的基础上,展开进一步的深入研究。 In the late Qing Dynasty, the late Qing Dynasty was a system innovation emerged from the local mandarin government under the situation that the Qing government was facing failure in the past ages and the failure of the Central Government of the Qing Dynasty, and showed its flexible and flexible side, Gathering talents and articles for the general public serve as a contingency mechanism and assume the functions of social management, security and foreign affairs that should be borne by the formal state system. As a result, there were more and more affairs in the late Qing Dynasty and more and more powerful powers. Just like local power centers, they not only engaged in military and government affairs, but also took charge of the new affairs of the Westernization Movement. This not only changed the skeleton of local bureaucracy in the Qing Dynasty, The no-levy undertakings undertaken in the past also brought a new atmosphere and a new situation to the then China, which had a far-reaching and widespread impact on the political, economic, cultural and social aspects of the late Qing Dynasty. However, the existing research failed to reach a basic consensus on the concept and connotation of the late Qing court, often talking to each other, talking about each other and not contradictory with each other, causing problems such as complaining and repeatedly studying the name, Clearance House research areas to expand and upgrade. If the name is not correct, it is necessary to carry out further research on the basis of clarifying the real name of the late Qing court.
