《二年律令》 / Er Nian Lu Ling

Overview

《二年律令》 enters the wiki through a 芮淇讲透资治通鉴 episode about trafficking punishment. The episode identifies it as a Han legal text found among 张家山汉墓竹简 and uses it to discuss punishment for abducting and selling people.

Current Profile

In this source, 《二年律令》 functions as evidence that early Han law treated trafficking in persons as an especially grave offense. The host’s use of the text emphasizes moral deterrence and social boundary-setting: sellers, knowing buyers, and buyers claiming ignorance all fall within the punishment field, making the market side of trafficking legally visible.

Key Characteristics

• It is presented as an excavated Han legal text associated with Zhangjiashan bamboo slips.
• The episode uses it to discuss legal treatment of abducting and selling people.
• It is said to call trafficking conduct “虐人.”
• It supports the episode’s claim that buyer-side participation was punishable, not merely the initial abduction.
• Its wiki role is source-scoped legal evidence, not a complete edition or technical reconstruction of Han statutes.

Evidence

• Excavated legal-text role: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》527-2丨抽筋扒皮？古代的人贩子真活该！ says the text was found among the Zhangjiashan Han tomb bamboo slips and records Han law.
• Trafficking punishment: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》527-2丨抽筋扒皮？古代的人贩子真活该！ uses it for punishments against abductors, knowing purchasers, and purchasers claiming ignorance.
• Moral-deterrence use: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》527-2丨抽筋扒皮？古代的人贩子真活该！ reads the severe penalties as a warning against harming innocents.

Qualifications

The episode provides a short public-facing summary rather than the wording, variant readings, or scholarly debate around the legal text. Details about exact penalties should therefore remain tied to this source until corroborated by specialist legal-history material.

What Changed

• Created the entity to separate the Han legal text from the broader Zhangjiashan bamboo-slip corpus.

Relationships
