摘　　要：土家族民间流传着"初夜权"传说,学术界由此认为或至少默认土家族土司享有"初夜权"。但查阅正史、方志、野史,并对土司制度、土家族婚俗以及传说进行分析发现,土家族土司并不享有"初夜权"。有关土司享有"初夜权"的传说只是土家人对改土归流及其流官治理初期中央和地方政府在意识形态领域肃清土司影响这一"历史真实"而保留至今的一种社会记忆。＂The right of the first night＂is a popular legend among Tujia people,therefore,in the academic circle,and it is thought that Tujia chieftains had this privilege. But through reading history books,local records and unofficial historical materials,and analyzing Tusi system,Tujia marriage customs and legends,the writer gets the conclusion that Tujia chieftains did not have such a privilege. In the early period of bureaucratization of native officers and the governance of appointed officers, the central and local governments tried to eliminate the ideological influence of Tujia chieftains and the legend is merely a social memory of Tujia people of this ＂historical fact＂which has remained till today.
