先秦之时的田庐是集体居住于里社的农民设立在田地中用于临时休息、存放物品、看护庄稼的小棚屋,初始的田庐面积狭小,形制简陋,不能久居。随着社会的发展,汉代田庐的涵义扩大并逐渐发生分化,其中一部分仍然保留原始的形态,有的还被政府赋予治安警戒的功用;另一部分则逐渐由临时棚舍发展成为较稳定的居住之所,面积和形制都得以扩大,成为新的自然聚落的产生基础,而这一类田庐就成为汉代儒家学者想象先秦井田制下的田庐形制的现实依据之一。 Before the Qin Dynasty, Tianlu was a small hut set up in the fields for temporary rest, storage and care of crops. The original Tianlu was small in size and simple in shape, and could not live in a long time. With the development of society, the meaning of Tianlu in the Han Dynasty expanded and gradually diverged, some of which still retained its original form, while others were given the function of public security vigilance by the government. The other part gradually evolved from temporary shelters to more stable residences The area, the area and the shape of the land were expanded to become the basis for the formation of a new natural settlement. This category of land was one of the realistic bases for Confucian scholars in Han dynasty to imagine the formation of land under the pre-Qin regime.
