【摘要】 王书奴的《中国娼妓史》有"营妓始于汉,历六朝唐宋不衰。《万物原始说》:‘一曰,古未有妓,至汉武始置营妓,以待军士之无妻室者,见《汉武外史》。’"的说法。本文从:一、《汉武外史》此说违背史实,且仅为非正史间接引证,既无汉代正史资料为依据,又无可信史料作旁证;二、营妓名称的由来和性质;三、卒妻妇并非营妓,也非后世意义上的军妓,这样三个方面进行论证,阐明"汉武始置营妓"之说有如"管仲始创妓院"一样,是历代作者在未经追踪溯源的考证,未获取确切史实依据的情况下,以后世的社会观念对古代史籍进行摘取、揣测、臆断的结论,以致歪曲、虚构了历史,并代代因循,人云亦云,因而纯属以谬传谬的产物。更多还原

【Abstract】 In History of Chinese Prostitutes,Wang Shunu wrote,"Camp followers first emerged in the Han Dynasty and went on thriving through the six dynasties,the Tang and Song Dynasty. Origins of Everything goes: ‘one said that,there were no prostitutes until camp followers emerged in the times of Emperor Wu of Han to serve soldiers without wife; for more details,refer to Unofficial History of Emperor Wu of Han. ’"This paper doubts the facticity of Wang’s statement from three aspects. First,the description in Unofficial History of Emperor Wu of Han which is an unofficial indirect reference source without evidence from neither official history of Han nor other reliable historical documents,is contrary to the facts of history. Second,the origin and attributes of camp followers are discussed. Third,"Zuqifu( the wife of a soldier) "does not refer to"camp follower". To conclude,it is not true that camp followers originated from the times of Emperor Wu of Han. The history mistake was made because of the fact that those authors failed to verify textual contents and thus misunderstood ancient books.更多还原
