Case Study on Contract Stamps in Central Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty --- Focusing on Two Pingpu Tribes, Taokas and Pazeh / 清代臺灣中部契約戳記之研究—以道卡斯、巴則海兩族群為中心

碩士 / 逢甲大學 / 歷史與文物研究所 / 101 / The topical subject of the study centers on the stamps that are comparatively neglected in the researches of paleography by using those source materials in the contracts excerpted in already published paleographic works. Such issues as the types and forms of stamps, subordinate units and identities of the makers (awarders) and holders (receivers), and also the roles stamp holders playing in the contracts have also been discussed.
Out of all the 1,866 contracting documents collected, only 98 of them were sealed with official stamps by Han Chinese, about five percent in proportion. There were 899 ones sealed with stamps by Pingpu peoples (plain indigenes), taking a percentage of 48 but less than half of the whole collection. Adding up with the eight percent of the contracts sealed with stamps by all Han Chinese, there was a total of 56 percent while the remaining 44 percent of the documents have been sealed with personal or society stamps by Taiwanese indigenous peoples.
After a series of classifications, analyses and comparisons, we can tell that Han Chinese have been governed by lower level governments at respective prefectures and counties. Local officials administered to Han Chinese by granting the stamps. As for Pingpu peoples, staff at the tribe societies were authorized the administration powers by the aborigine management offices through the procedures of reporting, examination, issuance, superior notification and directive instruction. The aborigine military colony system implemented after 1789, the 54th year of the Kangxi Emperor&;#39;s reign, also influenced the management of the Pingpu tribes.
