"The Hidden Land" means that a large amount of land in the Ming
dynasty (1368-1644) was "hidden" or unknown, since the land was
managed by both the administrative and the military systems, and
only the former was made public while the latter was being hidden
due to confidentiality issues. This is one of the author's creative
findings as a result of his solid textual research and rigorous
argumentation. Since the Ming state management system had a great
impact on the land, the population, the taxes and corvee, the
imperial examinations, the justice, the grass-roots organizations
and the frontier ethnics during the 500 years from Ming to Qing
(1636-1912), the views on the garrisons and guards (weisuo) in the
military system are of great help to review the essential issues of
the period, which were often misunderstood or neglected before. In
addition, the author introduces the present situation, existing
problems and basic historical materials in the Ming study which
will be beneficial to the Ming researchers and enthusiasts.
