Abstract Centering on the Changsha Wuyi Square Eastern Han Strips and Tablets， this essay reveals the administrative process of the county courts in the Eastern Han in respects of the channels of obtaining information， the formulation and implementation of coping plans. It can be seen from this study that the administration of county courts in the middle and Late Eastern Han had developed into a mature and stable stage. It can also be seen that the county clerks and subordinates were important forces in assisting the senior executives to carry out the daily rule， their “co-operation and co-governance” was the normal pattern of the county administrative system in the Easter Han， which was a major method of regional governance by the Eastern Han Empire and affected the historical process since the end of the Han in a sustained way.
