游侠是汉初社会一股重要的社会力量,继承了先秦游侠的传统,在汉朝发挥着自己的作用。汉初游侠的兴起既有先秦士文化的影响,也有当时的社会背景。他们上结交王侯大臣,下招揽门客,建立自己的势力,甚至在有的时候会影响到国家的政治生活。对他们的评价历来褒贬不一,既有褒扬的,也有贬低的,笔者认为这个问题不能一概而论,要通过具体的事件和背景对游侠在当时社会中的作用做一个全面客观的评价。 Ranger is an important social force in early Han society, inherited the Qin Ranger tradition, played its part in the Han Dynasty. The beginning of the Han Dynasty Ranger both Xian Qin culture and the social background at the time. They make princes, solicit gatekeepers and build up their own power, even sometimes influencing the political life of the country. The evaluation of them has always been mixed, both praised, but also belittle, I believe that this issue can not be generalized, through specific events and background of Ranger in the role of society at the time to do a comprehensive and objective evaluation.
