作为证据的家谱——以清代坟山买卖及纠纷解决为例

As the evidence of genealogy——as the example of transaction and dispute resolution of grave hills in Qing dynasty

在中国传统社会,坟山是家谱不可缺少的记载内容,记载了坟山买卖契约的内容、买卖经过、坟山坐落以及历史变化情况,使家谱在客观上产生了证明坟山所有权的证明力,并形成了将家谱作为证据的风俗习惯且为官方认可,在古代社会的坟山纠纷解决中发挥了重要作用。

In Chinese traditional society, the grave hills are the indispensable record of genealogy, having recorded the contracts, the transactions, the location and the change of the grave hills. The genealogy produced the force of proving the ownership of the grave hills objectively and formed the customs of using genealogy as evidence. Moreover, the official recognized these customs. So the genealogy played an important role in the dispute resolution of the grave hills in ancient society.
