Although the modern Chinese police force was not born until the end of the nineteenth century under the influence of Western nations, various forms of law enforcement had been in existence in China's history long before the introduction of the Western modern policing. The present article provides a brief account of the historical evolution of the Chinese police, dating from the first dynasty in China (which existed more than four thousand years ago), to the most current development of the Chinese police in the People's Republic of China. The historical account allows readers to catch a glimpse of various forms of law enforcement that existed in different periods of China's history and their impact on the formation and structure of today's Chinese police
