== Cumulative Bibliography == Alford, William P. [http://www.cio.com/article/24969/Understanding_Chinese_Attitudes_Towards_Intellectual_Property_IP_Rights Understanding Chinese Attitudes Towards Intellectual Property (IP) Rights]. CIO, September 15, 2006. Alford, William P. <u>To Steal a Book Is an Elegant Offense: Intellectual Property Law in Chinese Civilization</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1995. <KNIGHT KNN 1155.A958 1995> By title, this is the perfect book. It examines a contemporary phenomenon, infringement, and the author attempts to discern why intellectual property law, especially the copyright, never appeared in Chinese civilization. Although a good portion talks about imperial China's lack of "a sustained indigenous counterpart to IP law" (2), the mass of the book is about the failure of forms of IP law to become widespread in practice in China. A lot has to do with Republican Era and Maoist China, so it is a bit beyond my initial interest in the field, specifically with late imperial China. It seems as though the book's talk about axiological law will deal largely with philosophy, wherein the idea of "novelty" and copyright are discussed in context of Classical Confucianism. This book should nonetheless prove helpful, if not one hundred percent essential, to any inquiry into Chinese law. Allee, Mark A. <u>Law and Local Society in Late Imperial China: Northern Taiwan in the Nineteenth Century</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1994. <KNIGHT KNP 490.T383.A46 1994> Sociological aspects of law are valuable contributions to examining what makes a "legacy", and certainly including Taiwan into a study of late imperial China is a good thing. This book tends to cover family law above all other forms, but in doing so covers the territory of civil law in China that is so crucial, for a principle notion separating Chinese law from Western law is that there was not explicit division between civil and criminal law. A good deal of the book covers criminal proceedings, including court procedure. It covers the so-called Dan-Xin archives, a rarely utilized bulk of law cases that deal with mostly commercial matters. All of this is tempered by setting: Taiwan during the 19th century was a military settlement, and this affected administrative law in a profound way. Although frontier politics is not a major part of this research topic, my specialty falls within the area, so this book would be an interesting addition, and would contribute some great case studies to law enforcement and crafting.

Bernhardt, Kathryn and Philip C.C. Huang eds. <u>Civil Law in Qing and Republican China</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1994. <KNIGHT KNN 1572.C58 1994> This book is an anthology of writings concerned with civil and administrative law in late imperial China. Not only does it include the requisite chapters introducing law in China to the novice, but then it examines law in particularly notable instances. This is largely an interdisciplinary task, as many deal with social dimensions of the practice of law (who and what defines professional law practice) as well as analysis of textual sources on Chinese law. Because the breadth of this book and the credibility of the authors as astute historians (Zelin) as well as trained lawyers (Huang), this is quite an extraordinary piece for my thesis's topic. And as demonstrated, civil law in China is incredibly important for my academic mission as well as many others; it exists as the critical theoretical link between yesterday and today, in terms of Chinese forms of law. Bodde, Derk and Morris, Clarence. <u>Law in Imperial China: Exemplified by 190 Ch'ing Dynasty Cases, With Historical, Social, and Juridical Commentaries</u>. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1967. <LAW KNN 64.L38 1967> Case studies are very important for the study of law, as they inform us how to act in an analogical way. This book is one of the first translated case study volumes, the <i>Xing'an Huilan</i>. Bound sets of prescriptions are held within a case study, and in effect this text will illustrate how the Great Qing Code operates. This book not only attempts to establish the basis of law in China in its first part, but through the translated case studies, it shows practical interpretation of Qing dynastic law. As a result, Bodde and Morris's text is utterly essential, even if it has a focus on criminal law. Cao, Deborah. <u>Chinese Law: A Language Perspective</u>. Burlington: Ashgate Publishing, 2004. <LAW KNQ 92.C36 2004> Despite the lofty title, this book may have limited use for the topic of historical law. Cao's mission is not to address law universally as it is to deal with law in the here-and-now China. She appeals to historical forms of law only through Hundred Schools texts, largely through Kongzi, Han Feizi, Xunzi, and Lord Shang. From here, her approach deals with the modern form of Mandarin Chinese. However, I do enjoy the fact that she employs a broad understanding to law, even as she focuses on language. She employs linguistic (e.g. Gadamer) and critical (e.g. Habermas) sources to analyzing how law communicates universally, and then applies her knowledge to make case examples with the Chinese language, specifically focusing on cases of particular consonance. Great in theory, but of limited use to the mission of my historical study -- perhaps Cao's text will come in handy in understanding what makes the history of law a specific legacy, with application in today's China. <u>China intellectual property law guide</u>.

Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1980. <LAW KNN 122.E86 1980> This is an anthology of texts from a variety of historians, including Derk Bodde. Of particular merit is Brockman's essay on commercial contract law in 19th century Taiwan and Fu-Mei Chang Chen's essay on Shen Zhiqi's commentary on Qing judicial decisions. Brockman discusses how customary law is the basis of contract law in Taiwan, an interesting notion for a pragmatic approach to civil law in historical China. The bulk of his work covers buy-seller exchange and negotiation, parts of law which do not really constitute the abstract principles of law as we know them. Fu-mei Chang's work covers the <i>Xing'an Huilan</i> law case book that Derk Bodde so decisively translated and interpreted. She focuses specifically on a bureaucrat named Shen Zhiqi, whose private commentary on the Qing Code exercised a gigantic influence among legal scholars in the court of Qianlong forward. As a result, Fu-mei's article is profoundly important to the study of Qing dynastic law, and repudiates this as an appropriate source.

Feng, Peter. <u>Intellectual Property in China</u>. Hong Kong: Sweet & Maxwell Asia, 1997. <LAW KNQ 1155.F46 1997> Focused on issues and aspects of intellectual property law in contemporary China, this is probably the most technically sound book on IP law in China. It includes Chinese terms for technical terms (for instance, <i>zhuoqingquan</i>, "at the court's discretion", a term applied for the judicial discretion entailed in calculating economic losses in IPR cases). The book is systematically organized and includes citations that are intensely interesting and detailed. Perhaps the technical detail precludes reading by any scholar not familiar with law as a profession, but this would be a tragedy given the sheer amount of useful information held in this tome.

Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2007. <KNIGHT H 62.5.C5.T45 2007> Cultural study (e.g. social anthropology) and the law come hand and hand; this has been an established fact since Weber and Durkheim "started" the discipline of sociology. Thinking with Cases is a book that shows the value of cultural analysis for the study of law. The authors attempt to merge articles regarding "cases" together between three unusual fields: law, medicine, and religion. Obviously the first is the most helpful for studying law, but the brilliance of this anthology is that it tries to link these notions together to portray the utility and meaning behind the use of examples. It is in a sense foundational for the study of law because it examines the axiological divide between East and West in terms of method of analysis. The section on law itself is broken into three articles: one pertaining to late Ming casebooks (even including an examination of court case fiction, <i>gong'an xiaoshuo</i>) and law manuals; the next dividing hand books between prescriptive manuals, expository on law code, and opinions/sentences in terms of forensic analysis; the last regarding affidavits in Qing legal cases. All three of these are interesting pieces that are great for formulating notions concerning the historical roots of Chinese law, but it seems as though the first article is best due to its uncommon focus and how well in distills ancient law into an essence, brewing in even fiction to display how the legal process was seen in past dynasties.

Head, John W. and Yanping Wang. <u>Law Codes in Dynastic China: A Synopsis of Chinese Legal History in the Thirty Centuries from Zhou to Qing</u>. Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 2005. <LAW KNN 122.H43 2005> A book covering the evolution of Chinese law from Hundred Schools of Thought to the Qing Code, this book is serviceable as a road map to the history of Chinese law. It is dependent upon a great deal of sources listed in this bibliography, including Bodde and Morris, Fairbank, and Hulsewe. As a result, this can be considered a "tertiary" source, something of a guide to applying more detailed secondary sources for the purpose of linked history. This will be the perfect for writing the framework for historical background of law prior to the Qing Code. Hegel, Robert E. and Carlitz, Katherine. <u>Writing and Law in Late Imperial China: Crime, Conflict, and Judgment</u>. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2007. <LAW KNQ 48.7.W75 2007> This is a multidisciplinary examination of law in Late Imperial China, perfectly attuned to the nature of my study. Including work by UO professor Maram Epstein, this book takes a tripartite examination of the nature of Chinese law. First, it looks at rhetoric in persuasion and how it pertains to law in dynastic China. Most of the articles in this section examine law via literature, which indeed held an influential fixture within late imperial Chinese popular novels (e.g. Judge Di). Part two examines legal discourse in the auspices of state authority. Most applicable in this section seems to be Buoye's discussion of leniency of punishment found in the Qing Code. The final section deals with the interplay between legal procedure and literary tropes. This section is especially useful because it deals with the notion of legal case studies, which is a central part of demonstrating a workable practice for a theorized form of proto-IPR law. Thus, the last third of this book is worth examining. Hong Xue and Zheng Chensi. <u>Chinese intellectual property law in the 21st century</u>. Hong Kong: Sweet & Maxwell Asia, 2002. <KNQ1155 .X94 2002> <b>Available copies: 2.</b> This text is available at Washington and Willamette Law Libraries. Hu, Robert Haibin. <u>Guide to China Copyright Law Studies</u>. Buffalo: William S. Hein & Co, 2000. <LAW KNQ 1160.H8 2000> As a research guide to intellectual property rights in China, this is a fantastic source. It has a brief bibliography, including articles and dissertations, all on the subject. It also includes a full listing of websites, institutions (i.e. affiliated with the government, such as the USTR) related to copyright law and China. The focus is mainly on contemporary law, but this only slightly diminishes the utility of this great source. Huang, Philip C.C. <u>Civil Justice in China: Representation and Practice in China</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1996. <LAW KNN 1572.H83 1996> An important distinction for my project requires the imposition of a Western ideal onto Chinese law traditions. The distinction between civil and criminal law is something that does not sustain to Chinese sources of law, and Huang makes this clear by differentiating between civil law and civil justice. He makes the definition that civil law does not exist by virtue of the lack of a specific notion denoting private rights in China, and cites William Jones as representing the most extreme pole of this interpretation. On the other hand, he states that civil justice must have existed, for cases made to protect property rights and contracts almost never levied criminal punishment. This is the fundamental assertion he assumes, as he gives us a discursive explication of this form of "civil justice" in China, from lawsuits and mediation to strategies of "civil justice" related legislation. I believe this book is key for my thesis question, because people claim that intellectual property did not have associated rights in China. It might be possible to follow Huang's example to appropriate a standard of upholding intellectual property in imperial China. Huang, Philip C.C. <u>Code, Custom, and Legal Practice in China: The Qing and the Republic Compared</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2001. <LAW KNN 1572.H834 2001> By title alone it is obvious that this book is important for my question. It means to place Huang's established notion of "civil justice" into a period fraught with ideas brought in from the West. Huang sees it as an adaptation of a German model, but also as a revision of the Great Qing Code. This portion is the seed of my interest, to find the continuities of tenets from the Qing Code found today. He focuses heavily on civil law as well as property law (<i>dian</i>). He also expands upon other China legal scholars by examining the nature of custom in shaping law. All and all, this is another book in his series "LAaw, Society, and Culture in China"; each addition to this contributes greatly to the goals of my thesis. Jiang Yonglin. <u>The Great Ming Code / Da Ming lü</u>. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2005. <LAW KNN 33.A4.E55 2005> Professor Jiang was an assistant for William Jones in writing his translation of the Great Qing Code, so it can be assumed that the scholarship of this work is superb. The Great Ming Code was a formative precedent to the Great Qing Code, and was written by the founding bureaucracy of the Ming dynasty. Because the law code is filtered through the political times, the Ming Code is worth studying in how the political turmoil of the Ming's restoration of Han culture resounded even to the ascendancy of non-Han people. Finally, the Ming Code is worth studying because it represents the first formal code garnering commercial law, including code pertaining to salt monopolies. As a result, I believe this source is important for understanding the roots of civil law. Jones, William C. ed. <u>Basic Principles of Civil Law in China</u>. Armonk: M.E. Sharpe, 1989. <LAW KNQ 500.M5413 1989> Although a bit dated, this book deals with civil law in modern China. William C. Jones is the erudite scholar who translated the Great Qing Code, so it this book is unquestionable in its veracity and context in historical study (even if this book predates his translation of the Code). His understanding of civil law as a theory and practice is crucial for an understanding the essential bond between IPR law in contemporary and dynastic China. <KNIGHT KNN 34.A4.E54 1994> Jones, William C, tr. <u>The Great Qing Code</u>. New York: Oxford University Press, 1994. As one of the primary sources for my writing, along with the "134 Qing Cases", this book is unsurpassed in its importance. The Qing Code is the polestar to my thesis, and although it lacks a certain bearing to civil law beyond administration, it is still the major source of law in late imperial China. Jones rarely comments upon the text in any other form than introduction to his translation, so it is a "pure" text that can articulate cleanly with my secondary sources. His interpretation acknowledges the clear line drawing the Qing in relation to the Tang Codes, and he tends to talk of the law as a continuous tradition. These thoughts do not emerge in his translation, but they are helpful for interpreting his text, when there is a dearth of scholarship regarding the Tang Codes. <u>Journal of Business Ethics</u> 69, No. 1 (Nov. 2006) Lehman, John Alan.

New York: Garland Publishing, 1997. <KNIGHT KNQ3202.F67 1997> I couple these books together because they form a four part series. The third part is entitled "Contract, ''Guanxi'', and Dispute Resolution in China" and the fourth "Foreigners in Chinese Law". Each has a particular focus, as their topic indicates, but most of them deal with law in contemporary China. For instance, the second book only devotes three chapters to Republican Era or Qing China. Meanwhile, the first book too deals only loosely in regard to Chinese history, most dealing with the past thirty years in Chinese law. These articles are of unmistakable quality, including work by Jerome Cohen (head Chinese law professor at Harvard) and William Alford (head Chinese law professor at Stanford). My task with law is not so much wholly focused on the historical qualities of law, but reconciling this legacy with current practices. To this end, Tahirih Lee's series seems quite helpful. It is all very discursive in focus, and the most interesting article is one written by Hom and Malloy which deals with the two professor's experience teaching law and economics to Chinese lawyers in 1993. It takes the format of a series of letters, and each author has a varying understanding of Chinese so it makes for a cultural experience inasmuch one on law. Suffice it to say, the entire volume would make for an interesting contribution to a thesis regarding Chinese law, no matter the subject. Lessig, Lawrence. [http://www.free-culture.cc/freecontent/ Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity] New York: Penguin Press, 2004. Macauley, Melissa. <u>Social Power and Legal Culture: Litigation Masters in Late Imperial China</u>. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1998. <KNIGHT KNQ 1572.M33 1998> As the term master implies, this book covers the vocation of the barrister in late imperial China in a sociological manner. It focuses upon popular perceptions of lawyers and other elites involved in law. Because the lawyer-elite is a social entity according to Macauley, she seeks to find the context of these elites, what made them powerful, and what effect they had upon the law. These litigation masters are not simply villians or frauds, she finds; they were power brokers with an agenda that was not completely selfish. Their mastery of the law was also not universal, for some were merely literate individuals willing to help those in need of legal aid. Giving a face to these individuals might prove helpful for identifying the legacy of law in China, and through them it is possible to see a dimension of their larger institutional context. Sociological studies such as this prove that an interdisciplinary approach exposes a lot of elements completely lost by a wholly textual focus. MacCormack, Geoffrey. <u>Traditional Chinese Penal Law</u>. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1990. <KNIGHT KNN 3800.M33 1990> The majority of this book focuses upon early imperial China, with only a small portion on Ming and Qing law in terms of history. However, a good portion does deal with the evolution of the tradition of law based on the Tang code, which is my primary interest for study. His main source tends to be the ''Da Qing luli huiji bianlan'', which I want to spend a great deal of time studying. He talks about law textually, but also discusses how it was enforced from dynasty to dynasty. In talks about punishment, both in terms of capital punishment and compensatory damages, it goes a long distance to explain social roles within these, especially for the bureaucrat. Finally, he explains contract and family law in tandem. All of these chapters appeal to the highest textual sources -- the Qing and Tang codes -- but are sensible for each dynasty. This is quite an extraordinary book for this subject. McKnight, Brian E and Liu, James T.C. trans. <u>The Enlightened Judgements: Ch'ing-ming Chi</u>. Albany: State University of New York Press, 1999 <LAW KNN 63.4.M56213 1999> During the late years of the Southern Song dynasty, Chan Yanfu from Fujian province wrote an expansive collection of law cases. Intended to be the interest of local magistrates, this book is a translation and interpretation of Chan's work. McKnight divides the book into chapters based upon what type of law the cases appeal towards, with the vast majority dealing with either family or public law. However, a great deal of cases concern property disputes. If there is a manner of contrasting intellectual property and (landed) property law, then this book is an appealing addition to the study of the history of Chinese law.

Beijing: Foreign Languages Press, 2002. <KNIGHT KNQ 1160.Q2 2002> Copyright in China as it is remains complicated, even without including the historical breadth of the legacy of law. This book sets out to examine the state of copyright law in China, especially the intricacies of the law since its admittance to the WTO in 2001, so it focuses one chapter heavily upon international standards. For my look at the nuances of IP law in modernity, my focus will be placed on international standards via international organizations so this is particularly useful. Qu also covers copyright law's infringement (in a variety of media), what defines a copyrightable work (i.e. what is "original"), but draws careful attention to what makes Chinese law so unique. This uniqueness leads to deep political explorations, not only of the legal reforms occurring through the Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin administrations, but also looking at Western influence on law crafting. Its focal points are valuable for exploring the topic of law in China. Qu has written a great book with this, not only due to his own brilliant scholarship, but also that he has drawn his work from the top scholars in the field including Bodde, Alford, and Zheng Chensi.

There seems to be a lot more commentary in this version than the version by Jones. It resembles the Confucian Classics, with commentaries in small font accompanying the code. The nature of these seem more explicative than interpretative: contextual issues are generally taken care of in footnotes than in passage scribblings. It seems sensible that this form has a lot of advantages over the more straightforward English version. An example of this is the commentaries in the introduction to the 13th scroll, one encompassing family law (戶律). Commentaries in the first line explain archaic grammar and vocabulary, in addition to fill in a few of the interpretive blanks involving what constitutes a suspect in private law.
