Abstract

The family exit-entry certification in the Bamboo Slips of the Han Dynasty in the northwest is used by the families of the soldiers in the northwestern side of the Han Dynasty to enter and exit the checkpoint. The elements of the family exit-entry certification are the official residence, position, name, date, the status of the family members, age and the cattle and carriages they carry. According to the bamboo slips, the soldiers were in the position of beacon tower under the leadership of the Tuota Houguan. Tuota Houguan is under the jurisdiction of Jianshui Duwei, the beacon tower is located in the north of the Jianshuijin checkpoint. Zhaowu Country and Lude Country are in the southeast of Jinguan checkpoint. The family members of the soldiers must use the family certification to exit and entry Jinguan checkpoint to Tuota Houguan. If their conditions confirm to the rules, they could pass the checkpoint. Otherwise, they couldn't pass the checkpoint. The family members of the soldiers could go to Houguan to visit their relatives by family exit-entry certification, which was conducive to the soldiers in the northwest fortress under harsh natural conditions to secure the northwest frontier of the motherland. At the same time, it embodied the humanistic care of the Han government for the officers and their families, and was conducive to the smooth progress of the strategy of the Han Empire's frontier fortress.
