东汉海陵县存废考略

On the Establishment and Abandonment of the Hailing County of the Eastern Han Dynasty

古泰州,战国楚时始称海阳,秦称海陵,西汉高祖六年(前201)为海阳侯国,武帝元狩六年(前117)属临淮郡,新莽时为亭间。但是作为东汉政区地理基本史料的《后汉书·郡国志》却未见海陵。本文结合考古和文献资料对"东阳故属临淮。有长洲泽,吴王濞太仓在此"进行分析考证,指出东汉确有海陵县,《后汉书·郡国志》原载有海陵,在南朝梁刘昭补注《后汉书》时,"海陵"仍未缺漏,而在后来的流传中脱漏。

The ancient Taizhou was initially called Haiyang by the Chu state during the Warring States period.By the Qin Dynasty,it started to be called Hailing.In the subsequent Western Han Dynasty,it became the Haiyang Princedom in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu(201 BC).In the sixth year of the Yuanshou era during Emperor Wudi’s reign(117 BC),it belonged to the Linhuai prefecture.It was eventually named Tingjian during the Xin Mang Era.Hailing as a name was not see in the basic historical document of Eastern Han Dynasty’s administrative division,the Chapter of Commanderies and States of the Book of Later Han.This article synthesizes archaeological and historical evidence and interprets the sentence of‘Dongyang once belonged to Linhuai.There was a place called Changzhouze where the Taicang state granary of the King of the Wu State Liu Bi was located in the historical document.This article points out that there was indeed a county called Hailing county in Eastern Han Dynasty.Hailing as a place was recorded in the Chapter of Commanderies and States of the Book of Later Han.The name was still there in the book when Liu Zhao of the Southern Dynasties provided supplementary commentaries of the book.But the name was lost in the later transmission of the book.
