Family Background and Civil Service Careers in the Late Qing
Abstract
We examine the influence of family background on the initial appointment and subsequent career mobility of officials who held examination degrees in the Qing (1644-1911) civil service. We consider three generations of patrilineal family background, including the exam and purchase degrees held by father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and official positions held by father. We focus on officials with an exam degree because while our own research reveals that officials with an exam degree accounted for only a portion of Qing officials, holders of exam degrees receive most of the attention in the literature on national political elites in historical China and they accounted for a large share of the civilians who did reach high office. The examination system is one of the best-known features of the imperial Chinese state, and the subject of a large literature in its own right because the prominent role of the examination system in the recruitment of officials is central to claims that the system was meritocratic. Mapping the social origins of officials appointed based on exam performance, and understanding how family background and exam performance interacted to shape their subsequent career mobility will inform longstanding debates about the permeability of elites during the Qing. Previous studies mostly take success on the examination system as a proxy for membership in the political and bureaucratic elite and do not consider the actual careers of exam degree holders. For this analysis, we make use of a new longitudinal dataset that describes the careers of Qing officials, the China Government Employee Dataset – Qing (CGED-Q), which we have constructed from quarterly editions of the Jinshenlu (縉紳錄). At present the CGED-Q contains 3,264,058 records of 337,192 civil and military officials between the mid-18th century and the beginning of the 20thcentury. For this analysis, we make use of a subset of the data for the period between 1850 and 1912, where we have nearly continuous coverage. This subset contains 2,397,304 records of 160,820 civil officials. Our multigenerational data on family background is drawn from a database we are constructing from Huishi (會試) and Xiangshi (鄉試) Tongnianchilu (同年齒錄).
