试论汉武帝时期侠客的衰落及其文化底蕴

A Study on the Decline and Cause of Hsia-ko in the Han Wudi Period

汉初距战国不远,战国时期所形成的许多趋势仍得以延续着,如任侠与结客风气的盛行即承战国绪余而来。任侠与结客之间,往往有着密切的联系,但它们最终衰落于汉武帝年间。任侠与结客衰落的原因,从表面看来,是由于他们与汉初诸帝的利益形成矛盾;从长远的眼光看,则是由于他们与中国传统文化的不相容而导致衰落的。

The Han Dynasty followed the Warring States, and some trendency initiated in Chan-kuo Period also continued, for example, the popularity of the Jen-hisa and Chieh-ko. They declined during the rule of Han Wudi. What caused this matter was the confliction between them and the benefit of Han Administration from a short-term angle and Chinese tradition in the long run.
