秦河东郡置县考

A Textual Research on Establishment of Counties in Hedong Shire in the Qin Dynasty

传统文献记载秦代历史地理的资料很少,难以窥见其全貌,有关其地方设置的郡县情况更是不清。但近几十年大量考古出土的秦文物涉及到秦代的历史地理,这就为研究秦郡县问题提供了传世文献所不能见到的重要史料。利用秦文物和战国秦汉城市考古等有关资料,结合文献,可以首次考证出秦河东郡设19县的情况,以补史书之缺佚。

Few data were available about historical geography of Qin Dynasty in traditional literature, so a full view couldn＇t be obtained. The shires and counties established in that time were seldom known by offsprings.

This article conducts a textual research on the setup of counties in Hedong Shire of Qin Dynasty by using triple material evidences, namely unearthed relics of Qin Dynasty, archeological data of cities in Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty and historical literature. The results has filled up a gap in the existent historical records.
