摘要
九章律在汉代法律史乃至整个中国法律史中具有重要地位,其主要内容为魏律和晋律所继承。《二年律令》并非吕后二年颁行的当代法典。不宜以"正律"、"旁章"、"单行律"、"追加法"、"律经"等概念认识汉律结构,没有证据可以证明汉律不同律章在形式或法律地位上存在区别。至少在《二年律令》时代之后,九章律只是汉律的一部分,不是汉律的总名或泛称,萧何"作律九章"与汉律不止九章之间没有矛盾。
The Nine-Chapter Law (jiu zhang lü) occupies an important position in the history of Han Dynasty law, and indeed in the entire history of Chinese law. Its major content was passed on to the laws of the Wei and the Jin dynasties. The Second-Year Law (er nian lü ling) was not in fact issued in the second year of the reign of Empress Lü. The structure of the Han Dynasty laws cannot be readily understood from such concepts as zheng lü (main body of laws), pang zhang (supplementary chapters), dan xing lü (singly issued laws), zhui jia fa (amendments) and lü jing (interpretations of laws). There is no evidence that points to any status differentiation among different laws and acts in the Han Dynasty. At least in the time following the Second-Year Law, the Nine-Chapter Law was only a part of rather than a general name for Han Dynasty legislation. It does not cover the entire content of the Han Dynasty legislation and the fact that Xiao He compiled 'nine chapters of law' does not contradict the fact that the Han Dynasty law contained more than nine chapters.
