Law, Resources and Time-Space Constructing

Focusing on the judicial evolution of the Qing Dynasty, the book examines significant changes across six key developments. It highlights the emergence of Banfang in the late Qianlong period, the introduction of capital appeals under Jiaqing, and the establishment of consular jurisdiction during Daoguang's reign. Additionally, it discusses the implementation of on-the-spot executions in Daoguang and Xianfeng's periods, the creation of interrogatory courts in Tongzhi's reign, and the abolition of banishment along with prison reforms late in Guangxu's reign.
