| Research Abstract |
The Eight Banner system can be described as a Manchu form of Central Eurasian political and military organization, for it possessed features distinctive of nomadic armies and their state organization-(1) a hierarchical military and administrative organization, (2) the monopolization of the right to rule by the imperial family and the shared possession of all subjects under its rule, (3) a system of left and right wings, and (4) the existence of imperial guards. And bannermen were a source of civil and military officials and were in charge of the administration of the empire as a whole. Accordingly the Eight Banner can be regarded as the state organization of the Qing empire.
