Abstract:Taking Quanzhou’s Pujing system as an example, this paper explicates late imperial urban neighborhoods through revealing the interrelationship between local administration and territorial cults. On reviewing the records of Pujing system found in ancient books and relics, it suggests that during the Ming and Qing dynasties the empire’s official altars were incorporated into the Pujing temples for local cults. Local governance of these late imperial neighborhoods was a combination of administrative control and folk beliefs, both of which played a role in the management of urban population and finance. An analysis of the organization of Pujing system, including its laws and legal culture, reveals the system’s impact on the spatial formation of the historic city, which should be taken into consideration in the preservation of the neighborhoods today.
