Liu Zhaoqi was governor-general of Fujian and Zhejiang from 3^rd month, 1669 through 4^th month, 1670, then Zhejiang governor-general through 5^th month, 1673. The prefs. celebrate his accomplishments in a still unstable region that had suffered from natural calamities. The work is a rich collection of proclamations, orders, prohibitions, and so forth (marked by such terms as chi 飭, jin 禁, quanyu 勸諭, etc.) aimed at the people, especially at subaltern administrative personnel, and at the military. Each juan has a mulu. The entries are not dated. All the domains of administrative practice and popular customs are covered. Return to civilian administrative order was obviously a major concern. Beitu also has a work by the same author titled Zongzhi Zhe Min shucao 疏草, dated from the same year 1672, consisting of draft memorials devoted in particular to maritime defense.
