To prepare a basic one-volume dictionary of pre-modern Chinese official titles. The study will suggest English rendenings of official titles that reflect the changing places and functions of governmental positions period by period. The study will supplement these title entries with brief descriptive essays on the institutional structure of each major era, so that users can relate a particular title to the general governmental context of its time.
