柳条边始建年代考略

On the Early Building Time of the Willow Palisades

柳条边的始建东段应该上溯到天聪七年清人在碱场、通远堡等地的“筑城修边”,再经崇德三年的扩边而大致成形,主要是作为军事防线,同时兼具防止人口逃亡和朝鲜人越境的功能。西段则始自崇德初年从屏城到法库门之间边栅的设置,是清人为了加强对辽河套的直接控制及处理蒙古事务而设。这两段边与同时期出现的“栅门”、边栅等地理界限,重新构建了清人统治的核心区域,并以此“画定内外”,由此奠定了清初对东北地区基本政策,影响了东北地区后来的历史进程。

The original building of the eastern section of Willow Palisades should be traced back to the“building the city and repairing the border”in Jianchang,Tongyuanpu and other places in the 7th year of the Tiancong period,and then roughly formed through expansion in the 3rd year of the Chongde.This section serves primarily as a military line of defense,as well as a means of preventing population from fleeing and Koreans from crossing the border.The western section began from the setting of the side fence between Pingcheng(屏城)and Fakumen(法库门)in the early years of Chongde.It was designed by the Qing people to strengthen the direct control of Liaohe Tao(辽河套)and to deal with Mongolian affairs.These two sections,along with the geographical boundaries such as“fence gates”and side barriers that appeared in the same period,re-constructed the core area under the rule of the Qing people,and“delineated the inside and outside”,which laid the major policies of the early Qing Dynasty on the northeast China and affected the later historical process of the Northeast region.
