Abstract
Although it can be useful to distinguish between official and personal spheres when studying Ming dynasty (1368–1644) China, here the author argues that Ming government officials sometimes found it advantageous to blur the boundaries of these two spheres. This rhetorical strategy foregrounded the officials’ participation in an ideally symbiotic relationship with the emperor they served. The author analyses instances in which leading bureaucrats recontextualized official occasions associated with the emperor to produce commemorations that clearly were not meant to be seen as positioned solely in the official sphere. They situated these works in their own personal spheres in terms of patronage, ownership and authorship of texts prominently featuring their own aims. This was done to enhance their own social status, reaffirm the prestige of office‐holding, and solidify their close relationship with the reigning emperor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
