In the past, affected by transportation and other conditions, many people in the city never left the county town in their entire lives, and rural people never left the village in their entire lives, which is very common. After all, on the one hand, transportation conditions restrict themselves, and on the other hand, most people in the past could not find a way to make a living in other regions. This also limits population mobility.
This situation was very obvious in ancient times.
In ancient times, ordinary people often had a kind of personal dependence on the land . Even if a person involved can escape, how far can he escape without high-speed rail or car? The ancients lacked geographical knowledge. Even if they were asked to escape to other countries, they would not be able to do it because they had no geographical concept.
In addition, even if you can escape, what job should you do after you escape to a foreign land? This is also a big problem.
2, dialect and household registration issues
In addition, dialect issues and household registration issues also restricted ancient fugitives.
For contemporary post-00s, many people think that everyone may say that Mandarin has been a thing since ancient times. And costume dramas often have hints about this. But in fact, at least at the beginning of this century, the dialect phenomenon still exists. I remember that at the beginning of this century, I knew a chef who mentioned that he worked in a hotel in the southern region. His colleague: an old chef, because he was not good at speaking Mandarin, had to find oysters, and it took a lot of trouble.
Just imagine: Suppose an ancient fugitive fled to a place where he was unfamiliar with his own place and found that he could hardly understand much in the dialect in this area. Just this language environment alone would make it difficult for him to move forward.
Moreover, if a stranger suddenly appears in a certain place who speaks dialects in other regions, it will definitely attract the attention of local people and even government officials. If the government verifies as a fugitive, it will still face punishment.
In addition, in ancient my country, there was also a household registration system - that is, household registration is all people. This system also allows fugitives to escape to other areas to be deported by the government because they have no household registration, and ultimately face punishment.
3. Can't run away
Of course, the main reason is: can't run away.
Since ancient times, there has been a phenomenon of gathering clans. In other words, a family is roughly gathered in one place. This phenomenon also played a positive role in contemporary research on genealogy and local journals. If a person can cause great trouble for the execution of a family, then before the court read out the decree, the officers and soldiers had actually controlled the area where the family was located to prevent anyone from escaping. At this time, even if someone wants to run away, he can't escape at all.
In fact, it is still the same sentence: The main reason why contemporary people are surprised that the ancients were killed and did not escape was that they did not know much about the situation in ancient society and mistakenly thought that the form of ancient society was similar to that of modern society.
