东汉侍中探论

A Study on the Shi-zhong of Eastern Han Dynasty

两汉是后世门下省发展的滥觞,作为门下省长官的侍中顺应封建政治统治的需要,在这一阶段经历了由丞相与天子间的联络官到内侍近臣最后到政务秘书的这样一个发展过程;侍中机构也经历了由松散的顾问组织到有固定职掌的政务秘书机构的变化,而这种发展变化主要是在东汉得以实现的。

Western and Eastern Han were dynasties when the Ministry of Men-xia originated. During this time, to meet the needs of the feudal political governing, Shi-zhong, or inner hall palace attendants, as the officials of the Men-xia Ministry, underwent a procedure of changing roles ： from liaison officers between the PM and the king to inner hall attendants to govemmem secretaries. The Shi-zhong organization also underwent changes from loosely structured consultant committee to institutionalized government secretary organization. The changes were actualized mainly in the Eastern Han dynasty.
