local tribute system

The local tribute system of Ming Dynasty developed basing upon the systems of previous dynasties, at the very early stage of Ming Dynasty, the categories and quantities of the tribute items were already clearly provided by the royal government.
明代土貢制度是在繼承前朝土貢制度的基礎上發展起來的,在聖祖立國之初即對所貢物品的種類、數量都做出了明確的槼定。
