Chinese Statecraft
Engaging the writing of the fifteenth-century Confucian theorist and chancellor of the Imperial Academy, Qiu Jun, these essays enlarge our grasp of both Confucianism and the Chinese state, exploring what educated Chinese imagined as best practice in meeting the challenges of administering the realm. Rediscovering statecraft in the Ming period allows us to think about the tradition of applied Confucian duty without the moralism dominating conventi…
Law, State and Society in Early Imperial China
"Law, State and Society in Early Imperial China: A Study with Critical Edition and Translation of the Legal Texts from Zhangjiashan Tomb no. 24, written by Anthony J. Barbieri-Low and Robin D.S. Yates, 2015" published on 04 Sep 2020 by Brill
Historians at the Court
This paper relies on the narrative of a renowned historian of Qing law from China mainland who has been called by Hong Kong High Court in 2007, to witness as an expert in “Chinese customary law.” At the opening of the trial, he recognized one well-known and estimated colleague from Taiwan in the expert engaged by the other party. During one week, these two legal historians called up a vast array of knowledge in Chinese history, culture, and law, …

Aspects of Chinese Legal Culture – The Articulation of Written Law, State, and Society

In this issue and the next, an eminent French scholar will analyse and review the articles, adding his perspective to the questions already raised. Part One looks mainly at Shigeo Nakamura's article “Was Traditional Chinese Law a Mere ‘Model’?” and at Osamu Takamizawa's article “Legal Troubles and their Re…
La traduction et la circulation des termes de droit international en Asie orientale, en particulier du Wanguo gongfa / Bankoku kôhô
Partant de la première traduction intégrale d'un manuel anglais de droit international en chinois, l'auteur analyse la formation du glossaire juridique en caractères chinois (Wanguo gongfa). Malgré ses imprécisions et ses équivoques, cette traduction a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'introduction du droit occidental en Chine, en Corée, au Japon. Dans une deuxième partie, l'auteur analyse l'impact des concepts et pratiques du droit international sur…

Chinese Executions Visualising Their Differences with European Supplices
That the Chinese were singled out by a native cruelty in refined tortures became a widespread representation at the turn of the twentieth century. This cliché relied mainly on photographs of executions that could be diffused worldwide through modern mass media such as illustrated journals or postcards. The instant photographs taken from life provided an exact rendition of what really happened on a Chinese execution ground, and anyone seeing the i…
Abolishing 'Cruel Punishments
The 24th of April 1905 is a date of no particular significance in the current historiography of China. However, the memorial submitted this day by the Imperial Commissioners in charge of legal reforms, Wu Tingfang and Shen Jiaben, entailed the immediate suppression of so-called 'cruel punishments' (kuxing), such as dismemberment (lingchi), exposure of the head (xiaoshou) and desecration of the corpse (lushi). Judicial torture and bamboo flogging …

La coutume et le droit en Chine a la fin de l'Empire
La Chine, ou ' l'empire des coutumes ' : telle est l'une des idées reçues les plus tenaces que nous ait léguées le 19e siècle. Elle fait corps avec la définition de la modernité occidentale par quelques grands auteurs qui ont inscrit la Chine comme son antithèse. Ainsi, c'est pour l'opposer à l'Europe où l'Etat s'était élevé à la ' légalité organique ' que Hegel définissait la Chine comme ' l'empire oriental ' où la vie réelle des individus se ré…

Les vertus juridiques de l'exemple. Nature et fonction de la mise en exemple dans le droit de la Chine impériale
L'article vise à dégager certaines spécificités de l'exemple juridique. La citation de classiques à l'appui de décisions judiciaires a pu donner naissance à des catégories juridiques comme la non-intentionnalité ou l'adoption : l'exemple sert alors à créer une norme. Le système des « huit caractères » a permis d'interpréter les lois codifiées en combinant des exemples analogiques à visée didactique. Des hexagrammes du Yi jing ont pu servir à sché…
