汉代少吏选拔资格考述

The Electoral Standards of Shaoli in Han Dynasty

汉代少吏指汉代官僚群体中有百石、斗食、佐史之秩的低级官吏。汉代政府不仅从制度层面保证了汉代少吏的升迁渠道,而且为确保少吏队伍的基本素养,从用人源头上对少吏群体的选拔资格予以严格规定和限制,主要有五个方面:家赀限制;年龄限制;道德和才能标准;文字知识和晓习律令的方面限制以及对特殊群体的限制,即赘婿、贾人、吏坐赃者及其子孙。严格的选拔资格保障了汉代少吏的整体素质,从而为汉代社会创造了良好的吏治前提。

The term of ＂Shaoli＂ refers to lower officials whose salaries were ＂Baidan, Doushi and Zuoshi＂ in Han Dynasty. The Government of Han not only ensured the promotion channels system of Shaoli but also paid attention to their diathesis, namely the Han government had many limitations on Shaoli＇s selection. There are five main areas for the limitations： the family economic situation, the age, moral and talent standards, text and legal knowledge, and special groups such as Zhuixu （ a son-in-law who lives in the home of his wife＇s parents） , businessman and cor- rupt officials who had been deposed would not be employed forever. All of those set up a safe guard to the overall quality of Shaoli and a good officialdom premise in Han Dynasty.
