Consequently, little systematic and concrete exploration has been made on rites and the status and the role of rites in traditional Chinese legal system is seriously underestimated. The exclusion of rites from studies of Chinese legal history has led to a series of misunderstandings of the traditional Chinese legal system, such as the negative evaluation of the integration of morals and law and the characterization of the Chinese legal genealogy by “dominance of criminal law” and “preference of criminal law to civil law”. Actually law is only one of many aspects of traditional Chinese legal system and its status and role in this system was far less important than those of rites. Nevertheless, law in the traditional Chinese legal system did have some special attributes. That is, under the guidance of rites, it had undergone a process of evolution from legalist law to Confucian law. This pro
