摘　　要：尊老养老是中国传统文化的具体表现之一,与历代统治者的治国理念有契合之处,一直受到人们的关注。西汉文景时期的统治者面对秦亡之后社会上百废待兴的局面,受儒家思想与黄老之学的指导,采取“与民休息”的治国之策与“以孝治天下”的治国方针,对年老者给予物质帮助,并放宽刑罚、减免赋役,同时采取置三老、赐王杖、举孝廉入仕等宽容优待政策,使尊老养老制度化。国家以法律的手段使得年老之人的基本生活得以保障,不仅有利于社会的稳定,而且对政权的巩固及经济发展有促进作用。西汉文景时期国家对尊老养老问题的重视度极高,而统治者所颁布的一系列政策制度也极具代表性,直至现今社会仍具有借鉴意义。Respecting the old and raising the old is one of the concrete manifestations of Chinese ancient traditional culture,which is in line with the concept of governing the country of the rulers of the past dynasties and has been paid close attention to.The rulers of the Western Han Dynasty faced with the situation of social abandonment after the death of the Qin Dynasty,under the guidance of Confucianism and Huang Lao’s study,adopted the policy of“resting with the people”and“governing the world with filial piety”,gave material help to the elderly,relaxed penalties,reduced servitude,and adopted the policies of tolerance and preferential treatment,such as the purchase of three old people,the gift of the king’s staff,and the promotion of filial piety and honesty,so as to institutionalize the respect for the elderly.The state guarantees the basic life of the elderly by legal means,which is not only conducive to social stability,but also promotes the consolidation of political power and economic development.In the Western Han Dynasty,the state attached great importance to the issue of respecting the elderly and raising the elderly,and a series of policies and systems promulgated by the rulers were also very representative.
