西北汉简所见吏及家属出入符比对研究

A Comparative Study on the Exit-Entry Certificates in the Han Dynasty Wooden Slips from Northwest China

西北汉简中保留了一批与出入符相关的符券类文书,其中较为完整的吏及家属出入符共39枚。本文拟就简的形制、属性及内容三个方面进行讨论,对于居延汉简、肩水金关汉简中所见几类符作一比对研究,其中特别对该类简的刻齿,长短,文书归类等问题做细致的探讨,并通过对其内容的研读,试图窥探出汉代边境出入制度的梗概。

A group of exit-entry certificates have been found in a collection of Han dynasty wooden slips from northwest China, among which 39 are relatively complete-these certificates were issued by the government for border officials and their family members to travel between the frontier borders of the country. The recent publication of the Han Dynasty Wooden Slips from Jianshuijinguan has provided new material for further comparative research on this topic. This paper presents a comparative study of the exit-entry certificates found in slips excavated from Jianshuijinguan and Juyan, discusses in detail their length, the various types of texts, the reason for the serration of their edges, and further examines the contents of these slips in order to outline and further understand the exit-entry system at the borders of Han dynasty China.
