宋代南方山区的“峒寇”——以江西赣南为例

Dong-bandits in Mountain Area of South China in the Song Dynasty: Those in South Jiangxi

“峒民”与“省民”并非是民族的分类 ,是否向政府承担赋役是他们之间关键的区别。终宋之世 ,官府无法根除峒寇 ,只能有限地维持峒寇与省民之间的“界至” ,导致大量“化外之民”

The article discusses the disturbances caused by the Dong-bandits (峒寇) in the moutain area of South China in the Song dynasty in South Jiangxi.In fact, Dong-min(峒民), like its contrary expression,Shengmin (省民), was a social category rather than an ethnic marker. Whereas Shengmin referred to tax-payers,but Dong-bandits were those who did not pay tax. Just because Dong-people were also intensified by the tax burden imposed by government, they rose up. Government tried their best to keep the the boundary between Dong's area and the Shengmin's area in the Song dynasty, but the boundary was always ambiguous. This history process may help us understand the Hakka's history.
