Finding the Origin of Mixed Law:from Shuihudi Bamboo Slips of Qin Dynasty to Zhangjiashan Bamboo Slips of Han Dynasty

Legal texts found on bamboo slips of the Qin Dynasty and Zhangjiashan bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty proved that China's mixed law originated from the Kingdom of Qin in the Warring States Period.The Qin and Han dynasties followed the tradition and established a legal style featuring both the statute law embodied by Lv and Ling and the case law represented by Tingxingshi and Hi.In the judicial practices,the statute law and the case law were combined,gradually forming a judgment mechanism,in which the statute law was principal and the case law was accessorial.
