abstract
  • Traditional Chinese law refers to the laws, regulations and rules used in China up to 1911, when the last imperial dynasty fell. It has undergone continuous development since at least the 11th century BC. This legal tradition is distinct from the common law and civil law traditions of the West, and to a great extent, is contrary to the concepts of contemporary Chinese law. It incorporates elements of both Legalist and Confucian traditions of social order and governance. Two traditional Chinese terms approximate "law" in the modern sense. The first, fa (法), means primarily "norm" or "model". The second, lü (律), is usually rendered as "statute". It originally seems to have meant "standard pitchpipe", instruments used in Chinese cosmic magic.
