太平天国时期的徽州宗族:以沙堤叶氏为例

The Clans in Huizhou During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom——A case study of the Ye's Clan in Shati of Qimen county

祁门县沙堤叶氏宗族个案说明:太平天国时期,徽州宗族遭到太平军沉重打击,由此倒向清廷一边,不遗余力地捐资助饷、举办团练以抵御太平军。与徽州宗族以及各个阶层之间关系的异常紧张,是导致太平军受到极大钳制从而错失徽州战局的一个重要原因。

A case study of the Ye＇s Clan in Shati of Qimen county shows that during the Taiping Heaw enlu Kingdom, the clans in Huizhou suffered a heavy blow by the forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and, therefore, turned to the Qing government, sparing no effort in financing the govern- ment forces and organizing their own militia to defend against the Taiping Army. The forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were clamped down a lot in this case and ended up in failure in the battles happening in Huizhou.
