“官府”最早见于西周,以后历朝历代均出现过“官府”。官府是古代政治机构的一个称谓,指官署,但在不同的历史时期含义又不同。先秦主要是职能官府,承担教育、造作工商业等职能。秦以后,在相当一段历史时期内,官府是朝廷政治机构统称的意思,且不分中央官府和地方官府。这时期,虽也出现过地方官府,但表现得不太明显。自宋代始,官府主要是指地方官府。 “Officials ” was first seen in the Western Zhou Dynasty, since the calendar dynasties have appeared “official”. The official government is an appellation of the ancient political institutions, referring to the government department, but different meaning in different historical periods. Pre-Qin mainly functional government, bear education, making business and other functions. After Qin Dynasty, for a considerable period of time, the government was the general term for the imperial political institutions of the court, irrespective of the central government and the local government. This period, although there have been local officials, but did not show much obvious. Since the Song Dynasty, the official government mainly refers to the local government.
