摘要
明朝中叶,中国社会发生显著变化,统治者不得不做出调整和回应。作为国家机器核心部件之一的锦衣卫因此承担起诸多新的职责。这些新的职能表面上充斥着矛盾,既有以维护旧的统治秩序为目的的查禁服装、礼仪等方面的违制行为,又有“顺应”发展需要的查禁伪钱伪银、组织开矿等职责。锦衣卫军官群体的组成结构、生活旨趣等也随之发生诸多变化。这类看似错乱的现象,是统治阶层面对社会变化缺乏一致的应对思路的反映。
The rulers had to adjust their policies because much remarkable changes taken place in Chinese society during the middle of the Ming dynasty.Many new responsibilities were added to the imperial guards(the Embroidered Uniform Guards or Jinyiwei in Mandarin)since it was a core part of the state apparatus.These new functions seemed to be filled with contradictions.On the one hand,it is strongly against the behavior that violates the hierarchy,such as chaos of clothes and etiquette system,for maintaining the old ruling order.On the other hand,it is also important to meet the needs of social development,for example,banning counterfeit and inferior pieces of silver.At the same time,the composition structure and life purport of the Jinyiwei’s officers group also changed accordingly.These phenomena seemingly disordered were the reflection of ruling class’s lack of unified response to social changes.
