摘要
本文以2015年江苏省扬州市一座西汉中期墓中出土奏疏所涉一桩寻狗案为中心,通过比照秦汉考古发现、出土文献以及正史中对家犬的记载,可以发现秦汉时代狗与民众生活乃至政治、军事都有很大干系,非常受到重视。这有功利性、迷信的一面,更有对动物生命本身的某种关注。可以认为扬州寻狗案例折射出一丝动物权萌芽的端倪。
In 2015,four pieces of literature regarding a lost dog were excavated from a Han tomb in Yangzhou,Jiangsu. Having their research based on a comparative( re-) examination of the archaeological materials and textual records,the present authors assert that dog did play quite a significant role in the everyday and even the politico-military life in Qin and Han dynasties. In short,it was highly valued. The attention paid to dog was an embodiment of utilitarianism and superstition,as well as giving expression to the respect for the animal life. In this sense,this case might shed revealing light on the sprout of animal right in the ancient China.
