Minister of State - Kinsadaijin

Japanese: 欽差大臣 - きんさだいじん
Minister of State - Kinsadaijin

A form of bureaucratic appointment during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. An imperial commissioner is someone who holds an official position and is sent out on a temporary mission to deal with specific incidents such as civil war, war, or diplomatic negotiations. Among imperial commissioners, those with the third rank or higher are called imperial commissioners. Many people in charge of diplomatic negotiations in the late Qing dynasty were sent out as imperial commissioners. The Ming dynasty's imperial commissioners, such as the governor, governor, education minister, and superintendent of the Yuehai customs, became permanent positions during the Qing dynasty.

中国、明(みん)・清(しん)時代の官僚任命の一形式。官職についている者が、内乱、戦争、外交交渉など特定の事件の処理のため、臨時に任務を与えられて派遣されることが欽差であり、欽差官のなかでも三品以上の上級官を欽差大臣と称する。清末に外交交渉の任にあたった多くの者は欽差大臣として派遣されている。明代では欽差大臣であった総督、巡撫(じゅんぶ)、さらに学政、粤海関(えっかいかん)監督などは、清代になると常設化した官職となった。
