《左传》“继室”婚姻研究

A Study on the Marriage of "Second Wife" in Book Zuo Zhuan

《左传》以绝少的笔墨记录了一种名为"继室"的婚姻情况。古往今来关于"继室"的解释不是不严密就是有瑕疵。首先对"继室"概念作一广义定义,继而对"继室"婚姻以及与之相类的"非原配"婚姻所产生的影响进行剖析,最后从功利色彩、政治手段以及"一夫多妻制"的本质角度,揭示了这种婚姻制度对于国家和个人的悲剧根源。

There exists less description about the marriage named the ＂ second wife＂ in the book Zuo Zhuan. From ancient to modern times,the interpretation about the ＂ second wife＂ is either imprecise or flawy.So this paper firstly defines the ＂ second wife＂ in broad sense,and then analyzes the ＂ second wife＂ marriage and similar ＂ non- original＂ marriage,and finally reveals the tragic origin of this marriage system for nation and individuals from the nature perspectives of utility color,political means and polygyny.
