再论西汉前期诸侯国的历史作用——基于海昏侯国的观察

On the Historical Role of Vassal States in the Early Western Han Dynasty——Observation from Haihun State

西汉前期的诸侯国在剪灭吕氏势力及抑制军功阶层,维护汉代政治的平稳运行,以及在文景时期的经济恢复中起到了重要作用。从海昏侯国的观察中,可以看出这种作用不仅表现在诸侯王对王国治理上,而且也通过侯国迁徙,将当时北方先进文明带到南方边地,由此打破该地区文化发展的低水平循环方式。同时,西汉前期诸侯王与地方豪强、游侠的关系亦具有正反两方面作用。

The vassal states in the early Western Han Dynasty played an important role in cutting off the Lv’s forces and restraining the military class,maintaining the smooth operation of the Han Dynasty’s politics,and economic recovery during the emperor Wen and Jing in the West Han Dynasty.From the observation of Haihun States,it can be seen that this effect was not only manifested in the rule of the kingdom by the feudatory king,but also through the migration of vassal states,bringing the achievements of the advanced civilization of the North to the southern border at that time,thereby breaking the low-level circulation of cultural development.At the same time,the relationships among the feudatory kings,local tyrants and free-lance fighters also had both positive and negative effects in the early Western Han Dynasty.
