In May, 1740, China passes the Qing Code of 1740 against male rape and sodomy. It is the first law of its kind in China. There are no records to prove that the authorities enforce this law. [1] The Qing code of 1740 makes the rape of boys under 12 a capital crime, and penalizes homosexuality with 100 strokes of the heavy bamboo, and the wearing of the cangue for one month.[2]
