Synopsis

Through individual case studies, this book recounts how real cases in ancient China unfolded, were judged and carried out, and what impact they had. Covering the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the manuscript examines more than twenty cases, both large and small. It focuses on family and clan life, women's circumstances, and the ambiguities and loopholes in legal judgments. Through these specific cases, it seeks to reconstruct society as it was and reveal that the road to the rule of law has always been long and arduous.
