夏、商、西周、春秋是我国古代奴隶制确立、鼎盛和衰落的时代。当时,奴隶的劳动在很大程度上构成社会生活的物质基础。奴隶被视为奴隶主贵族和奴隶制国家的重要财产。因此,管理奴隶是奴隶制法的基本内容之一。如果说古代希腊罗马的奴隶是经济活动的产物(债奴)的话,那么,中国古代的奴隶可以说是政治活动的产物,即罪犯和战俘。 Xia, Shang, Western Zhou Dynasty and Spring and Autumn Period are the times when the ancient slavery was established, flourished and declined in our country. At the time, the labor of the slave largely constituted the material basis of social life. Slaves are considered important property of slave-owners and slavery states. Therefore, the management of slavery is one of the basic elements of slavery law. If the slaves of ancient Greece and Rome were the products of economic activities (debt bondage), then the slaves of ancient China could be said to be the products of political activities, that is criminals and prisoners of war.
