中国古代许多帝王都视赌博为洪水猛兽,匀以禁绝之为快事。 早在战国时期的《法经》规定,士民赌博者,处以“罚金三币”,太子赌博,则处以答刑三十,以示惩戒。秦代,李斯代秦始皇制订法律,对私下设赌的官民要“挞其股”。 Many ancient emperors in China regard gambling as a scourge of floods and even banning it as a quick thing. As early as during the Warring States period, the “Buddhist Scriptures” stipulated that citizens and gamblers were punished with “fine three coins” and princesses gambling when they were sentenced to thirty. In the Qin Dynasty, on behalf of the First Qin Dynasty, Li Si formulated the law, and privately owned gambling officials should “tart their stocks.”
