从“风角杀人”到党锢之祸

From the Murder of "Fengjiao" to the Disaster of Danggu

汉末张成用风角推占有赦,遂教子杀人,时任地方长官的李膺违背赦令将其子正法,这件事成为党锢之祸的导火索。张成为什么可以凭风角推占有赦?风角是汉代非常流行的一种占术,它之所以能预测政治,是和汉代以天道决人事的灾异谴告思想分不开的。由于灾异思想的影响,汉末的赦令非常频繁,严重干扰了法律的正常实施,早已遭到士大夫的批评。在汉末皇权和士权紧张对立的情况下,这个事件导致了皇权对士权的压制,因而引发了波及全国的党锢之祸。

In the East Han Dynasty, Zhangcheng made divination by ＂Fengjiao＂ and drew the conclusion that there was a general amnesty, so he instigated his son to kill some people. Liying, the governor, defied the command of the Emperor and killed Zhangcheng＇ s son. This was a direct cause of the disaster of Danggu. Why could Zhangeheng forecast an amnesty？ ＂Fengjiao＂ was a popular forecasting skill in the Han Dynasty. People believed that all the things were decided by gods. Due to the influence of ＂Fengjiao＂, there were frequent amnesties at the end of the East Han dynasty and there were negative effects on legal equity. ＂Fengjiao＂ was criticized by many officials and finally led to the disaster of Danggu.
