由《史记》透视西汉的婚俗文化

An Analysis of the Marriage Culture in the Western Han Dynasty from Historical Records

《史记》记载了西汉时期的婚俗形式:聘娶婚、政治联姻、离婚、再婚、自由婚、重亲婚、媵妾婚等。这些婚俗形式的出现与西汉时的思想观念、经济状况、人口政策、社会环境不无关系。西汉初年,经济凋敝,人口离散,社会环境相对宽松,贞节观念比较淡薄;为了发展经济,政府"与民休息",鼓励再婚、媵妾婚、重亲婚等。

Abstract：Different forms of marriage customs in the Western Han Dynasty are recorded in Historical Re- cords, such as betrothal marriage, political marriage, divorce, remarriage, free marriage, kindred marriage, concubine marriage, etc. These marriage customs must have had certain relationship with the ideological ideas, economic situation, population policy, social environment, etc. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, due to the slow economic development, scattered settlement, loose social environ- ment, relative indifference to chastity, remarriage, concubine marriage and kindred marriage are encouraged by the government.
