The National Legal Culture and the Legal System of the Chinese Nation——Examples from the Jin Dynasty

The dissertation tries to account for the fact that the traditional legal culture, which adopted and incorporated the essence of all the Chinese ethnic nationalities through magnanimously adopting, broadly observing and extracting, forms its own legal nature while citing examples of conflicts from the bohemian civilization in North China which influenced the traditional agricultural civilization in central China, the mutual movement of Nuzhen legal culture with Confucian legal culture, which together formed polyentity cultural system, as a Dynasty. Nevertheless, the traditional Chinese legal culture has also undergone a historical evolutionary process from separate to entity. The traditional legal system of China is a Han-led comprehensive legal entity in combination with different legal ideas, principles as well as legal statutes.
