摘要
1904年开始实行的考核州县事实,是清代考绩制度的重大变化。它是清廷试图通过体制内变革,解决吏治腐败的积弊,并为推行新政考察和选拔能员干吏,巩固权力基盘的措施。但督抚势力坐大,革故鼎新难以兼顾统治集团内部的利益分歧,而避重就轻的结果,只能使改革徒具形式,背离变政的初衷,同样危及甚至瓦解清朝的统治。州县考绩制的变革及实行,恰好显现了清廷进退两难的困境。
In 1904, the Qing court implemented important changes in the system for assessing prefectural and county magistrates. This transformation of the assessment ,system was meant to root out official corruption, institute the Xinzheng Reform, select capable officials, and strengthen the government＇s power base. But,Provincial, Governors continued to hold great power and reforming an ancicnt system was difficult, and there were divergent interests within the ruling classes. In the end, the reformed avoided serious issues and dwelt on the trivial. Deviating from its original intent, the reform endangered and undermined Qing governance. The reform of the magistrate assessment system precisely illustrates the dilemma of enacting administrative reform in the late Qing.
