This neatly edited and printed work consists of proclamations (告諭) (fasc. 1) and judgments (讞語) (fasc. 2) delivered by the author while magistrate of Mei county 郿縣 (Fengxiang 鳳翔 prefecture, Shaanxi) from 1686 to 1691. The time and place are revealed in a dossier reproduced after the judgements, dated 1691, recommending Ye Sheng for a position at the capital. The proclamations deal with such classic topics as xiangyue lectures, discouraging lawsuits, prohibiting gambling, encouraging agriculture and irrigation, discouraging the use of grain for alcohol-making, as well as more technical matters such as tax administration (several items), the suppression of lougui 陋規 and other surcharges, abuses during five-year censuses, control of local markets by unlicensed brokers, and more. The judgments (all introduced by shende 審得) mostly concern “civil” cases, i.e. conflicts about property, inheritance, marriage, and so forth, but they also include several cases of suicide and theft. According to the postf. author, a Meixian native who introduces himself as a disciple (門下) of Ye Sheng and assembled his papers to celebrate his good government, about which he provides detailed information (with figures), contrary to many inexperienced beginners Ye did not entrust his decisions and actions to servants or private secretaries, and wrote all his proclamations and judgments himself. The same postf. claims that Ye was too poor to pay for the engraving of the anthology; thus it was reduced by 60 or 70 percent, which explains its comparatively small size. Even so, the work provides interesting insights about a region that had greatly suffered from the dynastic transition troubles. The requests and Ye’s evaluation in the appended dossier are signed by the prefect of Fengxiang and the provincial authorities of Shaanxi.
