关于春秋弑君若干问题考辨

Research on Regicides during Spring and Autumn Period

对于春秋时期频繁出现的弑君现象,后世一直有"弑君三十六"的说法。这种说法有着严苛的标准,对全面认识春秋弑君问题很不利。通过重新界定时间和弑君定义,拓展文献来源,重新考证和统计,春秋时期的弑君事件实际共有79起,其影响不可低估。弑君的新君继位后,驱逐和诛杀群公子,重用异姓人才等做法推动了春秋列国的社会政治变革,促进了社会发展。

As for the frequent regicides during the Spring and Autumn period,there had been the argument of“Thirty-six Regicides”among later generations.This statement had a very strict standard,which was obviously adverse for us to have a comprehensive understanding of this problem.After re-defining the time and regicides,through the expansion of document resources,survey after survey,and statistics,it has been found that there were actually 79 incidents during the Spring and Autumn Period.The new monarch,who came to power by killing the old monarch,would probably either expel or kill the princes,and appointed talents with other different surnames,which promoted the social and political changes as well as the social development during the Spring and Autumn period.
