關於天鳳三年保災令“三公所保”一段文字的解釋

Interpretation of the text of “三公所保” in the disaster prevention decree promulgated in the third year of the Tianfeng era

新莽天鳳三年(16)頒佈的保災令,對當時全國各政區災害情況與中央公卿俸祿的對應關係作了規定,是研究新莽政區的重要史料。此前已有不少學者對令文"三公所保"一段文字做過一些校正,但其中仍有可以討論之處。本文結合幾件新出封泥,對這段文字中的"十二卿"作出新的解釋,認爲它們是"六鄉""六州"等十二個地名的誤寫;此外,中央五部之名也可以參考封泥文字,定爲"中部""中部左""中部右""中部前""中部後"。
