This is a reference aid for students and scholars who, from many disciplinary viewpoints, work with sources dating from or relating to premodem Chinese times, written  principally in Literary or Classical Chinese (wen-yen). It identifies, defines, and places in their temporal and institutional contexts the official titles and agency names  that.abound in such materials. Items of unofficial (literary and colloquial) as well as of-
5cialnomenclature are included, as are selected items of administrative terminology that seem especially relevant, particularly those in the realm of personnel  administration. If less than abso- lutely comprehensive in its coverage, the Dictionary  presses against the limits of practicality, and I am confident that it will serve most
of the needs of its users.
