But Ask the Banner People: Law and Society in the Qing Dynasty (hardcover)
by Lai Huimin
About This Novel
"Asking the Banner People: Law and Society in the Qing Dynasty" is another masterpiece about Qing history by researcher Lai Huimin after "Emperor Qianlong's Purse". "But ask the banner people", which means "there is no distinction between Manchu and Han people, but ask the banner people", is an expression used by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty to distinguish between the banner people and the people (Han people) in terms of political and social status through legal means. This book focuses on the differences in the treatment of ethnic groups and genders in the laws of the Qing Dynasty. It starts from the dualistic social characteristics of the banner people in the Qing Dynasty, takes the relationship between law and society as the central axis, and systematically compares the differences of banner women in the fields of family status, family disputes, property rights, legal proceedings, family forms, and social organizations from three aspects: administrative organization, ethnic group and law, gender, and judicial trials. It truly reproduces the social life of women in the Qing Dynasty.
