Personage and official position

Observation, official name. The local military and political officers in the late Tang Dynasty were called "observation and disposal envoys". In Song Dynasty, there was no official post, no fixed number of staff, and he was not stationed in Zhuzhou. Liao Dynasty set up the Department of observation envoys in the prefectures where there were no Jiedu envoys. Here, he Tao's actual work is equivalent to that of a criminal police captain, but he has a false title.
