Han Zhang

"Han Code" is brilliant, inheriting the system of Qin and changing its shortcomings, adopting the rites of Zhou to establish a new chapter! Emperor Gao of the past entered Guanzhong and made a three-chapter agreement to implement the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty. However, the world is established and the four seas are unified, and it cannot be managed in three chapters. Xiao He, the prime minister, copied the Qin laws and chose the ones that were suitable for the time. He wrote nine chapters of the law: thieves, thieves, prisoners, arrests, miscellaneous items, tools, and three chapters of households, xing, and stables, and created the punishment cauldron of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years! Its laws are based on virtue, punishment and punishment, and etiquette and law are interrelated. There is the iron law of "the one who kills will die", and the human ethics of "the Prime Minister must hide himself if you are close to each other"; it not only strictly prohibits the "Afu vassal king", but also opens up the smooth way of "letting a letter to speak out". Tiying wrote a letter and abolished corporal punishment, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, people were convicted based on their original intentions. This is the way of Han law to be benevolent and forgiving.
