兰溪童公山村轿夫对其主顾依附关系特点考

Research on the Features of the Sedan-carriers' Dependence on Their Customers in Tonggongshan Village, Lanxi

通过就兰溪童公山村轿夫对其主顾依附关系的实证分析 ,不仅证明兰溪历史上曾有过被称为“轿夫”的堕民 ,也给历史留下一个贱民对其主顾是如何依附的实证 ,还对贱民存在的根本原因作了初步探讨。笔者认为至少该地贱民的存在是社会原因造成的 ,学者认同的“政治民族压迫说”

By analyzing the examples in Tonggongshan Village, Lanxi, the paper not only proves the fact that there once existed in Lanxi duomin called sedan carriers, but leaves in history a page of the example concerning how the sedan carriers attached themselves to their customers as well. After probing into the fundamental reasons for the existence of the humble people, the paper holds that what accounted for why the humble people once existed in that region was social reasons rather than 'the hypothesis of political national oppression' held by some scholars.
