郢城遗址性质考辨

The Textual Research on the Property of the Site of Ying City

秦拔郢后毁纪南城,在纪南城东另建郢城。郢城自始建起即为秦南郡治所,秦江陵县故址。西汉中期后江陵县迁至今址,但郢城为故治所在,尚聚集较多人口,并未立即毁弃,因此西汉后期于郢城另设郢县,东汉时郢城废弃,郢县亦不复存在。

After the attack of Ying by Qin,they destroyed the Jinan city and built Ying city in the east of Jinan city.Since the construction of Ying city,it was taken as the location of the office of Nanjun and the old site of the Jiangling county of Qin.After the middle of the western Han dynasty,Jiangling county moved to the present site,while Ying city was still the location of the old office.Due to the large population of Ying city,it was not immediately destroyed and abandoned.Therefore,in the late western Han dynasty,Ying county was set in Ying City.Ying city was abandoned in the Eastern Han Dynasty while Ying county no longer existed.
