“匡饬异俗”:秦始皇重建社会文化新秩序的举措及其影响

"Cleaning up Different Customs" : New Order of Social Culture Reconstructed by Qin Shihuang and Its Influence

秦始皇统一六国后,试图通过"匡饬异俗",重建社会文化新秩序,实现"行同伦"即天下同风的奢求。在多次巡行中,他不断宣省习俗,刻石垂扬;在日常行政中,他推行严刑峻法,以立法形式纠肃民风、清除恶俗。秦始皇的"匡饬异俗",在当时取得了一定成效,然而却成为秦朝迅亡的原因之一;其对后世的影响则极其深远,为汉儒的礼乐教化政策提供了坚实的历史背景。

After the unifcation of the six states, Qin Shi Huang tried to rebuild the new order of social culture by cleaning up the different customs. During his many inspections, Qin Shihuang kept preaching the customs by writing on the stones. In the daily administration, he implemented strict laws to correct or clear the customs. These measures achieved some success at the time, but they became one of the reasons for the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty. Its infuence on the later generations is extremely profound, which provides a solid historical background for the Confucian policy concerning edifcation of rites and music.
