秦汉时期燃料供应与日常生活——兼与李欣博士商榷

The Supply of Fuel and Daily Life in Qin and Han Dynasties:A Discussion with Dr. Li Xin

木炭是秦汉时期手工业生产中的主要燃料,并没有在民众日常生活中得到普遍应用。在日常生活方面,木炭的使用者主要是特权阶层与富人阶层。秦汉时期广大民众日常生活中的主要燃料依然是薪柴。秦汉时期的森林资源十分丰富,从整体上并没有出现所谓燃料危机。历史研究一定要结合具体的历史情境,分析史料切忌以偏概全。

In the period of Qin and Han Dynasties, charcoal was the main fuel in the handicraft but was not commonly used in people＇s daily life. The users of charcoal were mainly the privileged production, stratum and the riches. Firewood was still the main fuel in the common people＇s daily life in Qin and Han Dynasties. The forest resource in Qin and Han Dynasties was abundant and there was no fuel crisis. The historical research must combine with the specific historical context, and the analysis of historical data should avoid overgeneralization.
