张家山汉墓竹简 / Zhangjiashan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips

张家山汉墓竹简 / Zhangjiashan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips enter the wiki through Qinji 138 as excavated evidence for Qin-Han institutional vocabulary. The episode uses the slips to argue that “宦” can mean service in the ruler’s inner court or registration for palace access, not necessarily castration.

The same source also uses Zhangjiashan material to clarify “隐官” as a status or workplace for sentence-completed skilled people. In the episode’s reasoning, this matters because inherited readings of 赵高 turn both “宦籍” and “隐宫/隐官” into sexual-body claims when they may instead describe access, office, and low-status legal history.

Key Claims

• The source uses Zhangjiashan slips as evidence for 出土文献词义校正.
• “宦人” and “宦籍” are read as palace-service and access-register terms in the episode.
• “隐官” is read as a legal-status/workplace term rather than a synonym for palace castration.
• The material is used to revise Zhao Gao’s received image without excusing his later political violence.

Connections

• 赵高 - person whose identity is re-read through the vocabulary.
• 早期宦官词义误读 - “宦” and “宦籍” correction.
• 隐官身份误读 - hidden-office correction.
• 《史记》, 司马迁, and Historical Detective Reasoning - received source and evidence-handling context.
