Tow Forms of Appointment of Office in the Officialdom System of T'ang China: With and Without the Effect of Investing with Court Rank

In the T'ang system, further complicated items set aside, there are two categories of governmental office: active-duty office (chih-shih-kuan) and titular office (san-kuan). In general, appointment to an office of either category implies investment with the court rank corresponding to the rank of the office. Titular office functions as a device for investing someone with a court rank without connection with his active duty. There is also a device for appointing someone to an active duty without investing him with the corresponding court rank. Appointment to an active-duty office under the prefix hsing or shou (temporary appointment in Wallace Johnson's translation) is of that meaning.Article 17 of the T'ang Code prescribes a privilege to court rank holders. When an offense committed by them deserves penal servitude or life exile, the punishment should be replaced, at a fixed rate of conversion, by canceling the culprit's court rank which emanates from the office he holds or once held. In this connection, an office to which the culprit has been appointed under the prefix hsing or shou counts for nothing because it carries no court rank.Mr. Tadashi Tsukigi argues, in his article published in last year issue of this same annual Hoseishi Kenkyu, against the above view on the meaning of hsing and shou which I have long advocated. He tries to reinterprete Article 17 of the T'ang Code.The present article is my response to his challenge in which I ameliorate my previous explanations and totally reject his reinterpretation of the Code.

A series of studies on the subject will ultimately appear in a book. See also the following articles previously published: ‘The Malawi-Rhodesia Trade Agreement’, Bulletin, May 1965; ‘East African Break Up’, Venture , June 1965; ‘The Territorial Incidence of the East African Common Services’, Bulletin, August 1965. I am grateful to my colleague, Mr. Peter Richards, for much help with the calculations for the present article. It was written before I accepted a temporary appointment in the Office of the President of Kenya as Director of the Common Market Secretariat.

Addendum

Since taking up a temporary appointment at the Sir John Cass College, the author has had the opportunity of checking the artificial hologram discussed in the main paper on a non-recording microphotometer. The result is interesting in demonstrating both the points of agreement between the actual and theoretical holograms, and the points where the technique of production has failed.

Dr. F. C. Steward

DB. F. C. STEWAUD, reader in plant physiology in Birkbeck College, University of London, has recently left for the United States to take up a temporary appointment as research associate in the University of Chicago, where he is to develop certain aspects of plant physiology and biochemistry in which Prof. E. J. Kraus and the Chicago Department of Botany are interested. Dr. Steward has been given leave of absence by Birkbeck College for this purpose, and the appointment is a sequel to the destruction in an air raid of the research laboratory in plant physiology at Birkbeck, which had been largely equipped by the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Steward has been engaged since 1941 with the Ministry of Aircraft Production, where he developed a department dealing with statistics concerning the determination and forecasting of Royal Air Force requirements. It seemed that his return to botanical research would be delayed indefinitely by the destruction of his laboratory, so that the offer of Prof. Kraus has rendered a real service to botanical inquiry.
