概要

論文の詳細を見る
It is said that the system of Chingt'ien 井田法, one of the Chinese land law, was generally implemented in the ancient China. This land law was originated from the principle advocated by confucianism. Since the era of Wu-ti in the Han Dynasty, confucianism had been dominant in China; and most of the Chinese legislation stemmed from the principles of confucianism. The ancient Chinese land law also followed this system of Chingt'ien. The system of Chunt'ien 均田法 was one of those system based on the system of Chingt'ien. The system of Chunt'ien was introduced to Japan and it has been called the system of Handenshuuju 班田収受. But the system of Handenshuuju in Japan was applied to rice paddy alone, while the Chinese system of Chunt'ien was applied not only to paddy fields but also to dry farms. This difference resulted from the way the Japanese officials in those days interpreted the Chinese character " t'ien"田. They thought it meant rice paddy paddy alone though, originally in China, it meant farmland either wet or dry. Moreover it was natural that Handenshuuju was applied just to rice paddy alone, because the staple food for the Japanese was rice. As time went by, however, Handenshuuju came to be applied to the fields of barley, buckwheat, and millet because of a lack of rice.
