Talk:Yamen

Inaccessible source and Ming/Qing Dynasty confusion
I don't know if/how I can access the main source for this article (Li), but so far I haven't found any mention of the zao/zhuang/kuai categories in my research on yamen runners in the Qing dynasty, and haven't found much information on yamen runners in the Ming dynasty in general; the section on the social status of yamen runners, however, uses terms that as I understand it refer to classes in the Qing dynasty.

This is the first time I've edited a Wikipedia article (I don't really know what I'm doing, sorry!) and I'd like to add more information about Yamen runners, but I don't know how to go about it with the current information there, since I can't verify it or confirm which sections, if it is only certain sections, apply specifically to runners in the Ming dynasty.
