Chinese ritsuryo system also had Bekkyoku but had a policy of sanhansei which 'hangan' who controlled Bekkyoku was placed under the command of 'kami' (a director) who controlled government officials and 'suke' who played a part of tsuhan (an official supporting a governor), and was supervised by kenkosei (system to inspect management), however, shitokan and honkan in Japan were not in such a relationship.
中国の律令制にも別局は存在するものの、官司を統括する「長官」と通判を行う「次官」の指揮下に別局を統括する「判官」が置かれているという三判制の原則があり、また検勾制による監督を受けていたが、日本の四等官と品官の間にはそのような関係は存在しなかった。
