Zhongshu province, the name of the central government office directly under the ancient emperor. The central department of the feudal regime, the Han Dynasty began to set up a secretariat order, Wei Guojian secretary supervision, supervision, order, Wei Caopi renamed the secretariat supervisor, order. After the Jin Dynasty, it was called Zhongshu Province, which was the highest institution in charge of confidential information, issuing imperial edicts and central government decrees. Along the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it became the national government center (three provinces and six departments). In Song and Yuan Dynasties, Zhongshu Province set up Zhongshu Order and Zhongshu Prime Minister, and abolished their names in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhongshu Province also had some agencies (the highest local government) in the distance, that is, Zhongshu provinces in various banks (referred to as provinces for short), which later referred to its jurisdiction and later referred to as local provinces (but Zhongshu Province itself did not refer to its direct jurisdiction "in the belly").
The change of the name of the country's ruling central organization: before Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, it was the Prime Minister's Office with relatively independent power, and Hanwu set up Chinese calligraphy institutions and internal court officials to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the administrative power of the Prime Minister's Office; The establishment of Zhongshu Province in the Western Jin Dynasty made the traditional prime minister's power more dependent on the imperial power, but the real power relationship was higher than the nominal relationship. Later, Zhongshu Province became relatively independent, and the Yuan Dynasty also set up Zhongshu Province in local areas. Zhu Yuanzhang killed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong in the 13th year of Hongwu, Ming Dynasty, and took the opportunity to abolish the province of Zhongshu in Ming Dynasty, leaving only Mr. Sheren in Zhongshu. In the Qing dynasty, there was a branch of Chinese calligraphy, which had a low status and only a supervisory function.
