Abstract

The article is a case history study. Basing on a well-documented criminal case of 1809, the author explores such issues as corruption in the ranks of Chinese officials; effectiveness of severe punishments for crime prevention; the methods criminal offences were committed and investigated in the Qing empire, and the level of public awareness of these methods; principles of sentencing; and the issue of crime and punishment in the mass consciousness of the Chinese in the late 17th and early 19th centuries. Special attention is paid to a remarkable phenomenon of fictionalizing of a real incident in witness reports, i.e. the introduction of popular moral, didactic and religious motifs widely known in the folklore and literature of that time.
尸体的证据。论清代的道德意识与法律实践
这篇文章是个案历史研究。作者以1809年的一桩有据可查的刑事案件为基础,探讨了中国官员队伍中的腐败问题;重刑预防犯罪的有效性;清帝国刑事犯罪的实施和侦查方法,以及公众对这些方法的认识程度;量刑原则;以及17世纪末和19世纪初中国大众意识中的罪与罚问题。特别关注证人报告中虚构真实事件的显著现象,即引入当时民间传说和文学中广为人知的流行道德,说教和宗教主题。
