 * Yes, the distinction is made by Geoffrey MacCormack in The spirit of traditional Chinese law (Athens : University of Georgia Press, 1996). --Yu Ninjie 00:21, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Factual Accuracy - Imperial law section
There are some questions arising regarding the Tang Code - please see my more detailed comments here. Either way the relevant content of the two articles does not match up.

castration
The focus on castration is still very much in violation of Undue_weight. plus, are we going to put a castration section on every single empire that practiced castration? the byzantines, romans, ottoman, and other empires all practiced castation, and we are not putting a special section for castration on each of their respective pages regarding law in the ottoman empire, byzantine empire, roman empire.

Chinese law contained hundreds of offenses for every possible offence imaginable, from disprespecting ones parents to using the emperor's name Naming taboo, which ranged from getting a slip on the wrist to death by Slow slicing. Are we going to list every single offense and punishment under chinese law? seriously?Bunser (talk) 21:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

in addition, the procedure for castration is already documented at the castration article itself. all that is needed is a link to castration.Bunser (talk) 21:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
