Confinement - feng-jin; fêng-chin

Japanese: 封禁 - ふうきん（英語表記）feng-jin; fêng-chin

In China, the prohibition of entry into certain areas. In order to maintain public order, each dynasty in China legally prohibited the people from entering areas at risk of natural disasters, mountain gorges where ethnic minorities and Han people lived side by side, cemeteries, etc. Mountain gorge areas in particular were called forbidden mountains and often became hotbeds of rebellion. Rebellions by Deng Maoqi, Ye Zongliu, and Jingxiang in the Ming Dynasty all took place in forbidden mountain areas. During the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese were strictly prohibited from emigrating to Manchuria, the birthplace of the rebellion, but from the mid-Qing Dynasty onwards, the ban was no longer observed.

中国で特定の地域への立入りを禁止したこと。中国の各王朝は，治安維持のため，風水害のおそれのある地域，少数民族と漢人とが隣接する山峡，墓地などへ民衆が立入ることを法的に禁じた。特に山峡地域では禁山とも呼ばれ，とかく反乱の温床ともなった。明代の鄧茂七 (とうもしち) ，葉宗留，荊襄の反乱などは，いずれも禁山地域を舞台として起った。清代には発祥の地である満州への中国人の移住を厳禁したが，中期以後，封禁令は守られなくなった。
