中文摘要：

在西汉时期所谓巫蛊之祸这一事变当中,汉武帝太子刘据,因巫蛊事发而不得不发兵反叛,最终兵败自杀。后世学者,论及此事,多谓此事纯粹出于江充陷害,太子据并未行用巫蛊。前此我撰著《制造汉武帝》,提到太子据应是确实施行了这一巫术,很多读者以为拙说不能成立。本文就是在此前研究的基础上,进一步详细阐述我对这一问题的思索,以供认真关心这一事件的学者或历史爱好者参考。文章首先指出,在西汉时期,只要不以天子为祝诅对象,巫蛊并不违法;《汉书》客观记载了从太子据宫中掘得桐木偶人这一基本事实;所谓江充之奸,不过充分利用了汉武帝因求长生而无法容忍他人对其施行巫蛊的心理,从而达到清除太子据的目的,而汉武帝后来对这一事件的＂感悟＂,不过是意识到他自己流露出来的更换太子的意图,是促成巫蛊之变的重要原因。然而,不仅汉武帝,甚至直至汉宣帝时期的西汉朝廷,一直认定太子据犯有对天子行用巫蛊的罪过。

英文摘要：

Under the reign of the Emperor Wu of the western Han dynasty,the crown prince Liu Ju（刘据） was accused of conducting cursing activities and compelled to start apalace coup,but he ended up in a total failure and committed suicide.The later researches,however,defended Liu Ju against the cursing activities by saying that it was apolitical frame-up by Jiang Chong（江充） and Liu Ju was innocent.The paper argues that Liu Ju was not as innocent as some of the researchers assumed.Firstly,in the western Han dynasty,as long as the object of the cursing was not the emperor,the cursing activities were not considered as crimes.Secondly,Han Shutruthfully recorded the process of the discovery of the cursing dolls in the crown prince＇s palace.Jiang Chong just took advantage of the fear inside the Emperor Wu in order to get rid of Liu Ju.The Emperor Wu＇s intention to change the crown prince was the trigger for this severe palace coup.
