The Hostage System During Han Dynasty

Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

China has implemented various policies during different periods of history, due to its relationships with the neighbouring nations and with the powers within. It is observed that especially during Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), there were abundant relations with other nations. One of the most important policies of Han Dynasty is the hostage system. The hostage is a tool to protect national relations, to establish temporary peace, or simply to achieve a political goal. As it is with all policies, mutual benefit is an important component of the hostage system. The hostage system was used systematically during Han dynasty and could establish temporary peace at times, but it also brought serious harm when carried out in the wrong way. In this paper the hostage system in Han Dynasty is studied regarding why and how it was implemented as well as its effects on economy, politics, military, and culture.
