王符的治边思想

Wang Fu's Thoughts on Borderland Administration

东汉政府在征讨羌人起兵失利的情况下 ,决定弃边徙民 ,企图以此平边患 ,保中原。家居边郡的王符目睹边患 ,特别是东汉政府弃边举措给边民带来的灾难 ,坚决反对弃边内徙 ,主张救边、安边、实边 ,认为有国必有边 ,缩边削地不能保国安宁 ,只有平息边患 ,使边疆安定 ,国家才能安宁 ;只有采取优惠的政策移民实边 ,开发边地 ,才是平边患。

In the situation of unsuccessful action against the Qiangs, the government of East Han Dynasty decided to abandon the frontier and move the inhabitants from there, attempting to stabilize disaster in borderland and secure the midland by this way. Wang Fu, who lived in border, saw the disaster in borderland, particularly he saw, that the policy of the government of East Han Dynasty 'to abandon the frontier' brought great balefulness to the borderers. Wang Fu opposed the policy 'abandon the frontier and move the inhabitants from there' and considers that the country will only be peace in the time, when the disasters in border were stabilized and the border was in peace. Therefore, he advocated adopting the measures: move the inhabitants to the border and develop the border.
