Abstract
Over the recent decades, excavated legal and administrative documents from China’s late pre-imperial and early imperial periods have shed light on the role of centralized states in managing local communities through a range of policies. These texts also hint at the existence of other social groups that were not sanctioned by the government and existed alongside the official communities. These groups were often crucial for the functioning of the state-sponsored administrative institutions. This paper explores the role of official communities in the process of empire-building in China and their relationship with other grassroots groups reflected in the Warring States, Qin, and Han manuscripts.
