Management of Economic Crops in the Zoumalou Bamboo Slips from Western Han
The phrase"setting fire without authorization"in the Western Han Dynasty bamboo slips of Zoumalou was a case from the period of Emperor Wu of Han.The"plum wood"and"water bamboo grass"burned in this case belonged to wild economic crops with high economic value,while the Han Dynasty laws and regulations had different protection provisions for the same type of economic crops in warehouses,private fields,and wild mountain and forest areas."Arson"should refer to the cultivation of wildfire fields,while"shi"represented the prohibition of time.However,"arson"may have different requirements due to different landforms.Shrubs,gras-ses,and other"grass fields"growing in river valleys may be burned in July,but in mountainous areas with dense tree vegetation,burning of mountains was likely to be allowed only in October after the trees were logged in July.Another example of the wording in the Western Han Dynasty bamboo slips of Zoumalou was the"Miscalculation of Money Prohibited in the Shaonei District of Linxiang,Changsha".The medicinal materials transported should be"presented"as local tribute,and the central government strictly regulated the items"presented during the four seasons"through documents and school vouchers.
