明朝《大诰》颁行动机新议

On the motive for ChaoDaGao's issue

《大诰》是朱元璋御笔亲订的明初“重典治国”法令。以往论者论及其颁行动机时 ，多从朱元璋本人所谓的“令民知所趋避”的教化论着眼。联系到朱元璋统治时期厉行专制 和强化皇权的种种思想与行为，并对《大诰》中所载案例进行综合分析，笔者认为，《大诰 》颁行更重要的动机是强化专制皇权，树立朱元璋的一己之威。

As was established by emperor ZHU Yuan－zhang himself, DaGao is the m andateses that implementing the severe punishment to run a country in Ming Dynas ty. when the theoreticians talk of MingDaGao's motive for enforcement most of th em center on the theory that told people how to do. After analysing the thoughts on implementing autocrat and strengthening imperial powers that carried out in ZHU yuan－zhang ruling period, and the cases pubtished in DaGao,the author think that the motive for DaGao's issue is to strengthen autocratic imperical powers and establish his own prestige.
