吴简中,有关身份制的材料不少,“夷民”即为其一。“夷民”一词,汉魏史籍虽然常见,但含义与吴简不尽相同。 汉魏史籍所见“夷民”,一般均指少数民族人民。而吴简所见“夷民”却应与兵有关,至少也应是官府控制的一种特殊依附人口。据《吴书·陆逊附子抗传》透露的信息:所谓“夷民”、“夷兵”,有可能是孙吴地方官府或私人控制的一种少数民族“民兵”。 正因为是少数民族“民兵”,所以既可以称为“夷民”,又可以称为“夷兵”。 In Wu Jian, many of the materials on the status system are “Yi Min”, which is one of them. The term “barbarians”, Han and Wei historical books, although common, but the meaning is different with Wu Jian. Han people saw the “Yi Min” historical records, generally refers to the people of ethnic minorities. However, what Wu Jian sees is that the “barbarians” should be related to soldiers and at least should be a special dependent population controlled by the government. According to “Wu Shu Lu Xun aconite anti-mass” revealed the information: the so-called “barbarians” and “barbarians”, may be the local government of Sun Wu or privately controlled ethnic minorities “militia.” Because of being a “militia” of ethnic minorities, it can be called “barbarians” or “barbarians.”
