中文摘要:
长期以来,围绕中国早期法律公布的时间问题,学界存有争议。对于先秦两汉法律是以何种形式公布的,至今鲜有关注。结合新近出土资料与《周礼》、《左传》等传世文献的研究大体可以确定,法令在制定后予以公布是周秦之际的惯常做法,从“宪刑”、“悬法”到春秋时期的铸刑书与权量布法,都是这一做法在不同时期的具体表现形式;到了汉代,法律“布之于民”的形式更加多样,包括刻石、扁书、露布、粉壁及榜等,几乎涵盖了后世常见的各种形态。整体而言,中国古代多数时期的统治者积极地将法律调整所涉及的利益群体纳入到法律的实施过程中来,缘情布法,灵活务实,这是古代法律公布的特点。
英文摘要:
The time of the earliest promulgation of laws in China has been a long-standing controversy in the academic circle. Less attention is paid to the form of promulgation of law in pre-Qin period and Han dynasty. This paper carries out systematic textual researches on different forms of promulgation of law in early Chinese history on the basis of unearthed materials and historical literatures, such as Xian Xing of the Yin and Zhou dynasties, Cast Penal Code and Cast Penal Tripod in the Spring and Autumn Period, the law casted on measurement instruments during the Warring States Period and Qin Dynasty and Stone Inscriptions, Bian Shu, and Lu Bu in Han Dynasty, and concludes that the promulgation of law was a common practice in early Chinese history and the traditional view that the practice of promulgation of law began with Zhu Xing Shu in the Spring and Autumn Period is untenable.
