Han i araha daicing gurun i uheri kooli bithe, 卷一

御製〔?〕國通典序。朕思古之帝王，效天行政，治世利民，爰立典章，明庶務，〔?〕。二帝〔?〕王之事迹，略著於《尚?》《周禮》。唐虞之際，九官〔?〕設，內……

The Imperial Preface to the Comprehensive Code of the Eicing State. I consider: ancient emperors and kings, imitating Heaven, carrying out governance, ordering the world, and benefiting the people, established rules and standards, clarified all affairs, 〔?〕. The deeds of the two emperors〔?〕 kings were roughly presented in the “Shang? Zhou Li”. In the time of Tang and Yu, the nine officials〔?〕 were appointed, interior…

外事既一統而治，於周朝，分六軍之纛，各領所部，皆順時以明天道，使黎庶豐足養育，因職任專責，諸務悉理。上古之時，語簡而度，故《書經》止載咨諏付託數語耳。

External affairs were unified and governed. In the Zhou dynasty, the great banners of the six armies were apportioned; each (division) administered its own dependencies. All, in accord with the seasons, illumined the order of Heaven and caused the multitude of people to become prosperous and nurtured. Because duties were specially entrusted to offices, matters were completely set in order. In very ancient times, words were few and measured; therefore, in the Book of Documents, only a few words of inquiry and commission were recorded.

已編成宣布政事之書，其心意於周禮書中周全具備。及至唐宋代，仿效魯殿之書而修會要之書，凡秉筆者皆遵此心意。明初之時，洙泗〔?〕之章書編纂成，定為木榔頭會殿之書〔?〕。縱歷代所定之起始，全然相同。

Having been written, the book proclaiming governance, its intent (gūnin) is complete in the Zhouli (lit. Zhou Li book). When it reached the Tang and Song dynasties, imitating the Lu palace book, the Huiyao (lit. Hūi Yoo book) was compiled, and those who wrote it all followed this intent. In the early Ming period, the Jusy Jyang book (?) was compiled and made into the Mala Hūi palace book (?). Although the beginnings determined by successive eras were all alike.

雖無成例可循，然大體皆乃揭示綱領，於細目則辨析之、更易之、通貫之、因循之、改動之，亦皆各視其宜而辦理。恭惟太祖高皇帝創擴疆土，平定紛亂，拯救黎元，初立道統之際，於法度律令大加鼎新。

Although there were none, in broad outline the main principles were brought forth; for the minor categories, (they) were distinguished, substituted, thoroughly implemented, followed, altered—each was also handled according to what was deemed suitable. Respectfully considered: when Taizu the Exalted Emperor initiated and expanded the realm, brought the turmoil to order, and rescued the people, in the period when the Way was first being established, the laws and statutes were greatly renewed.

太宗文皇帝大立章程，恢弘大體，以威制之、以文治之，遂使制度條目修明，井然有緒。世祖章皇帝統一天下法度，普宣德教於萬國，事體咸宜而修治，教化悉備。

Taizong, the Brilliantly Learned Emperor (Genggiyen Šu Hūwangdi), broadly established the regulations and models. (He) amplified the great principle, using might to set things firm and using civil arts to govern, whereby the institutions, rules, categories and items were put in order and brought forth with great clarity. Šaso(?)*, the Glorious Emperor (Eldembuhe Hūwangdi), unified the laws of all under Heaven, spread virtue to every nation, brought all affairs into accord and rectified them, making the transforming instruction complete. (*Note: The Manchu text reads “ŠASO,” which likely stands for the temple name “Šidzu” (世祖, Shizu) through OCR error; the text clearly refers to the Shizu Emperor via the title “Eldembuhe Hūwangdi” / “章皇帝.”)

極盡一切至化，發揚而昭彰；大道輝映振興，疆宇榮華燦然圓滿。朕承天運，御極三十年，宵旰憂勤，繼承祖宗之道，效法先猷，致堯舜禹湯文武之太平。追思盛典，恆念群黎〔?〕

Utterly perfected, all ultimate civilizing influence has been expanded and made manifest; the Great Way has been illuminated and invigorated; the land has been gloriously, beautifully, and manifestly completed. I, having assumed the era, have reigned for thirty years; night and day, ceaselessly fearful and cautious, I have continued the Way of my ancestors, imitated and emulated the former stratagems, and brought about the peace of Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu. Recalling the exalted precedents, and ever mindful of the multitude〔?〕

諭大臣等：各宜勤勉厥職，身為官長。凡行事、頒法，必上不違古，下合民情，詳求妥協敷陳，極其恭謹審慎，始付該衙門施行。至國朝典制之損益，〔?〕

The grand ministers were instructed: "Be diligent in the duties you bear, as heads. In carrying out any matter and promulgating any law, it is imperative that above, it not contravene antiquity; below, that it strive to conform to the people's sentiments. Seek to expound it in a fitting and appropriate manner, with utmost reverence and careful scrutiny, and only then deliver it to the corresponding office for implementation. In the reduction or augmentation of the state's institutions and models, 〔?〕"

一事也，無不與眾民相關聯。立極中正之式，循而行之則易。頒一統之例，則遵守分明。夫定政衛邦之道，惟在稽考定例，豈不甚要乎？故特降旨諭臣工，纂修《會典》。

There is not a single matter that is unconnected with the people. If a perfectly impartial standard is established, it will be easy to follow and act upon. If uniform regulations are promulgated, compliance will be clear. The way to stabilize governance and protect the realm lies solely in examining the established statutes — is this not of the utmost importance? Therefore, an edict was specially issued to the grand ministers to compile the Collected Statutes.

纂修之際，綱領、文字、條目、事類，悉無遺漏，釐析辨別而歸納之，本末終始，清晰完備。由是大道大法，輝煌照耀，猶如日月星辰。遵此而行者，咸得可恪守信賴之所。 《易經》有云：「不違不背，是循舊典。」 《書經》有云：「爾等當以舊章為師。」

In the compilation, the key outlines, characters, sections, and items were sorted and included without omission, and the origins and endings were perfectly completed and clarified. Thus, the great principles and great laws shine brightly like the sun and stars. Those who follow and walk by them all obtain a place to uphold and trust. The Book of Changes states: "Not contravening, not straying, one follows the old rules." The Book of Documents states: "Make the old precedents your teachers."

據云，我國之國憲典章極爲完備，先世益加明晰，皆將真實心意本諸根源，詳慎核定，並非以虛文飾政之條目。此良法盛意，若能世世共敬遵循，不致怠慢，則官民可獲彰明治理，世代可致極治太平，垂諸萬禩。

It is said: the laws and models of our state are exceedingly complete. The previous generations made them even clearer; all were determined by taking true intentions as the basis and examining them carefully. They are by no means matters of governance adorned with empty words. If this good law and wondrous intention are reverently followed together from generation to generation without negligence, then officials and commoners will be clearly governed, and the age will attain great peace for myriads (of years).

年之無窮福祐，既咸在於此，焉能不銘記於心乎？康熙二十九年四月二十六日。

Since the year's limitless fortune is all herein, how can one not cherish it in the heart? The 26th day of the 4th month of the 29th year of Kangxi.

皇帝諭内閣：今《大清會典》始修於康熙二十三年五月十二日。朕聞一代之興，必將一代之政事定為章程，書於典册，示諸官民，垂於萬世，所繫甚大。太祖高皇帝肇開大業，創立基業。

The emperor’s decree was issued to the Grand Secretariat: The Complete Code of the Great Qing began to be compiled on the twelfth day of the fifth month of the twenty-third year of Kangxi. It is heard that when a dynasty rises, the administrative affairs of that dynasty are invariably fixed as statutes, recorded in books and archives, shown to officials and subjects, and transmitted to myriad generations—the significance thereof is immense. The Grand Ancestor, the Exalted Emperor, inaugurated the great undertaking and established the foundational governance.

太宗文皇帝成奇功、振典章；世祖章皇帝一統天下，恢弘而存續，以臻治道。凡設官分職、定章程之際，莫不稽古而準今，無一苟且。綱紀條理井然，風華之美，無以尚之。朕御極以來，恪遵成憲，奉爲圭臬，率循而行。其間縱有微有損益，亦皆〔?〕

The Taizong Wen Emperor accomplished extraordinary merit and revived the model and regulations. The Shizu Zhang Emperor unified all under heaven, perfected the Way in expansion and preservation. Whenever the rules for appointing officials were established, they all examined antiquity and aligned with the present, leaving nothing undone. The guiding principles were ordered clearly; the elegance and refinement could not be surpassed. Since I have been on the throne, the established regulations have been reverently observed, taken as a model, and followed. Although there have been slight reductions and additions, all of them 〔?〕

因時制宜，變通合宜，臻於完善，使內外百官恭謹遵行，無有違悖。惟因各項事務，零星登於檔冊，致令百官查閱艱難，而百姓亦未能明晰。現今部院之〔?〕交予大小衙門，各令所轄官員派出，詳加查核，參校編纂，俾令會典告成，特此〔?〕。

Following the seasons, adapting suitably and bringing it to utmost perfection, causing the officials of the inner and outer [court] to follow respectfully without diverging; only because the items of business were recorded piecemeal in documents and registers, it was difficult for the hundred officials to examine and inspect, and moreover the common people also could not succeed in knowing clearly. Now, the jenggi (?) of the boards and courts, having been entrusted to the great and small yamen, (they) have taken out the respective subordinate officials and, while carefully scrutinizing and checking, adjusting and compiling, in order to complete the General Code, specifically …〔?〕.

被擢為掌衞事大臣，率領眾官員，恭謹辦理，務必使文質相協、事理周全，於今推行之際毫無缺失，勉力竭盡心思，詳審釐訂一代之典則，以期可為後世存留楷模，使子孫官民循而行之、不相違悖，效我祖宗，合其勤政之意——卿等其勉之敬之。

Having been appointed as Minister of the Imperial Procession Guard, leading the many officials, respectfully administering affairs, one must certainly harmonize refinement and simplicity, bring matters and principles to completion, so that in the current implementation there is no deficiency, strive to leave a pattern for later generations, exert the mind to the utmost, carefully establish the laws of a lifetime, make descendants, officials and commoners follow and implement without transgression, emulate my ancestors, match the intention of diligently governing—you all, exert yourselves and be respectful.
