古夜郎国地域、民族及法律控制问题探索

Exploration on the Region, Ethnic and Legal Control of Ancient Yelang

《史记》中记载的秦汉时期位于西南地区的夜郎国,自三国两晋南北朝以后,缺乏延续的历史资料记载,其具体地理位置、境内的少数民族、当时的社会形态及法律控制问题实际上成了历史之谜。从作者亲身感受的贵州地理特征、民族文化与历史资料记载的内容结合角度看,夜郎国应该位于古代楚国沿江进入云南的走廊地带平坝范围比较大的地方。从耕作文化、语言文化、地理位置以及彝族进入贵州的形式看,古夜郎国的民族构成应该是属于古代百越的范畴。除了极为有限的国家势力范围之外,秦汉以前的古夜郎国应该属于习惯法控制下的原始社会形态。

The Yelang State in the southwest of China during the Qin and Han Dynasties was recorded in the"Records of the Historian". It lacks continuous historical records since the three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Its specific geographical location, ethnic minorities, social form and legal control actually became a historical mystery. From the author’s experience of Guizhou’s geographical characteristics, national culture and historical records, Yelang should be located in a relatively large area of Pingba in the corridor of the ancient Chu state along the river into Yunnan. From the perspective of cultivation culture, language culture, geographical location and the form of Yi ethnic entering Guizhou, the ethnic composition of ancient Yelang state should belong to the category of ancient Baiyue. In addition to the limited national power influence, the state of ancient Yelang before the Qin and Han Dynasties should belong to the primitive social form controlled by the customary law.
