先秦两汉社会的滥杀现象述论

On the Slaughtering Phenomenon of Pre-Qin and Han Dynasty

先秦两汉社会中存在着严重的滥杀无辜行为,但这种行为不是从来就有的,而是有着历史演变的过程。从春秋时期开始产生,到秦汉时期大规模扩展开来,加害人的范围由先秦时期的皇帝、贵族,扩展到皇帝、诸侯王、军阀、外戚、地方豪强。这一方面反映了统治者的专制暴虐;另一方面也反映了在国家权力日益加强的背景下,国家对统治阶级内部的控制力并不如后世的大。当然,这背后的思想文化背景是当时人权观念的相对低下和人文主义发展的落后。

Phenomena of killing innocent people in pre-Qin and Han Dynasty, but this kind of conduct did not exist until the Spring and Autumn Period, and the scale became widespread in the Qin and Han Dynasties. The perpetrators extended from the emperor and the noble in the Pre-Qin Period to the emperor, kings, dukes, warlords, local despots. This reflected the ruler＇s tyranny. It also showed that with the enhancing power of the nation, national control of the ruling class became increasingly strong. Of course, the reason of this phenomenon is that people＇s consciousness of humanity was relatively low and humanism was underdeveloped.
