里耶秦简“主”称谓再考察

过去对于里耶秦简"主"称谓的含义与性质的界定可再考察。列表对比秦始皇三十五年五月前后发文者称呼收文者的变化,具体分析县内或县际之间往来政务运作流程中政务涉及者与收文者所称"主"的对应关系,可证明:收文者称"主",实指冠于某官名的收文者个人或某机构的实际长官,体现的更多是其在政务处理上具有的权力,而不单纯是责任。正确理解"主"称谓现象,为探讨地方文书工作与政务运行机制有参考意义。

In the past for defining the meaning and nature of Liye Qin Bamboo Slips ＂master＂ title can be further investigated. According to historical material, there is a visible significance in receiver＇s ti- tle by sender in approximately May of thirty-fifth years of Qin Shi Huang. In comparison of Master and Chief Executive in written format consistency, we could find a correspondence relation between political refers and receivers in counties or inter-county government. This proved： ＂Master＂ by received, actually refers to the receiver＇s title with individual or in a chief agency, reflecting his power in the political affair rather than responsibility. Correct understanding of the ＂Master＂ appellation has a guiding meaning for dis- cussing local paperwork and government operational mechanism.
