There are huge differences in definitions and tasks between ancient policemen and modern urban management. I would like a professional explanation, preferably with a few examples.

Captains were originally divided into servants and kuaishou. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were called capturers. Detectives are the collective name for catchers and fast players. They are responsible for apprehending criminals, summoning defendants and witnesses, and investigating criminal evidence. "Zaishou, an official who catches thieves"; and "Kuaishou, an official who catches thieves". Because the two are similar in nature, they are collectively called "Zaishou".

The police officers usually wear casual clothes, wear badges indicating their identities, and carry iron rulers and ropes. The foreman is called "the head catcher" or "the leader of the squad." The common people call the catchers "Zai Ye", "Pai Tou", "Tou Weng", "Pai Weng" and so on. In the legal provisions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the arrester was called "a person who should be arrested" or a "person who should be arrested", that is, "a person who is responsible for arresting criminals." In some large prefectures and counties, police officers are often equipped with horses to perform official duties, so they are also called "horse fast". Those who walk on foot are called "bu Kuai", "jianbu" or "chuzu". The number of "official sergeants" who are being compiled by each state and county is determined by the size of the state and county.

The detective tasks undertaken by the detectives are all time-limited, which is called "ratio". Generally, one "ratio" is five days, and for major murder cases, one "ratio" is three days. If the case cannot be solved after passing a "limit", the police officer will be beaten.

Being a police officer was a "low profession" in ancient times, and it was strictly stipulated that their descendants could not take part in the imperial examination, lest they be disgraced. Even if they leave the police profession, their descendants must wait three generations before they are eligible to take the imperial examination!

There is no salary for agents, and the annual food subsidy or "industrial silver" is only about 10 taels of silver. It is difficult to support a family, so extortion has become a trend, and they often set up various schemes. They collected benefits and even colluded with state and county officials to create unjust, false and wrongful cases, or to levy excessive taxes on the people and arrest them arbitrarily.

Chengguan, the full name is urban management. There are three types: one is a regular urban management team member who has passed the national civil service examination or public institution examination and also passed the law enforcement qualification examination. The jargon is called "administrative law enforcement team member". They have management, guidance, evidence collection, approval, temporary detention, etc. The law gives urban management team members All powers of the department and assume relevant responsibilities. The second type is the temporary “community station personnel” hired by the street urban management office to assist in regular urban management work. The third type is neither formal urban management with law enforcement power nor recruited coordinators, but company employees, government cadres, students, etc. who temporarily participate in the city through organized or spontaneous participation during special periods such as important festivals. Manage some people at work.
