从《二年律令》论汉代“孝亲”的法律化

On the Legalization of “Filial Piety”in Han Dynasty from The Second Year Law

汉代以孝治天下。“孝亲”在今天看来主要属于家庭伦理道德范畴,但在汉代更属于国家政治和法律问题。汉代对孝的特殊重视有其特殊的原因,即“五德终始”学说的影响。在汉代不孝被认为是十分严重的犯罪行为,对不孝之人的惩处也非常严厉,张家山汉简《二年律令》提供了这种处罚不孝的原始法律条文。

As a governing rule in Han Dynasty, filial piety plays a more significant part in the state＇ s political and legal issues in the time than today when it mainly belongs to the family and moral categories. The special attention paid to filial piety then has its special reason, i.e., the influence from the five elements circulation theory. For exploring how unfilial deeds to be seen as severe criminal behaviors and how unfilial persons were punished in Han Dynasty, The Second Year Law, the Han bamboo slips unearthed at Zhangjiashan provide the original legal texts.
