| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 歷史學系 === 97 === The Xiang-Jun system（Auxiliary Army）in the Song Dynasty was generally considered to be the work force. The soldiers usually did not engage in war, and they were old and weak. The word “Xiang-Jun”, however, is a general term. In this thesis this work force can be divided into two kinds. One of them is the “professional Yi-Bing”, and the other is “hard-working Xiang-Bing”. They were treated in the Dynastic History of the Song as the same thing. But actually they were different.
The soldiers in Xiang-Jun could be drafted into the Jin-jun (Central Army). The Shui-jun (Water Force ) in the south, also belonged to Xiang-jun, were employed to keep public security. This kind of situation is different from the traditional concept that Xiang-Jun could not be used for fighting. This research studies the organizations of the Xiang-Jun in the Treatise on War (Bing- zhi) of the Dynastic History, attempting to find out the real contents of the system and to achieve a better understanding of the Xiang-Jun system
