Abstract: The border production management is an important part of border management, which is closely related to border security and affects the relationship with neighboring countries. The content of production management in the border of Qing Dynasty was extensive, including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishing, gathering, hunting, mining, building houses, etc., while the main content of production management in the southwest border of Qing Dynasty was mining, agriculture, forestry and fishing. In the southwest border, the people of Qing Dynasty and neighboring countries often had cross-border and did production operations, which easily led to territorial disputes and border disputes. In dealing with cross-border production operations, the Qing government, based on the principle of " border stability and good-neighborliness ", advocated not to encroach on the land of neighboring countries, nor to make concessions, and severely punished its own cross-border personnel, while lenient treatment was given to the neighboring countries' cross-border personnel, with the purpose of good neighborliness and border stability.

Key words: Qing Dynasty, southwest border, border production operations, border management, good-neighborliness and border stability
