The
Imperial Clan Court
or
Court of the Imperial Clan
was an
institution
responsible for all matters pertaining to the imperial family under the
Ming
and
Qing
dynasties of
imperial China
.
[1]
This institution also existed under the
Nguy?n dynasty
of
Vietnam
where it managed matters pertaining to the
Nguy?n Phuc clan
.
[2]
Established in 1389 by the
Hongwu Emperor
, it was based on previous institutions like the "Court of the Imperial Clan" (
宗正寺
,
Z?ngzheng Si
) of the
Tang
and
Song
dynasties and the "Office of the Imperial Clan" (
太宗正院
,
Tai Z?ngzheng Yuan
) of the
Yuan dynasty
.
[3]
Under the Ming dynasty, the Court was managed by the
Ministry of Rites
; during the Qing, it was outside the regular bureaucracy.
[4]
Under both dynasties, the Court was staffed by members of the imperial clan.
[5]
Imperial clansmen who committed crimes were not tried through the regular legal system.
[6]
Qing imperial clansmen were registered under the
Eight Banners
, but were still under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Clan Court.
[7]
The Court used regular reports on births, marriages, and deaths to compile the genealogy of the imperial clan (
玉牒
,
Yudie
).
[8]
The imperial genealogy was revised 28 times during the Qing dynasty.
