About the work
A 4-juan Five-Dynasties / early Sòng casebook of difficult judicial cases, originally composed by Hé Níng and supplemented by his son Hé Mèng. The work is the foundational text in the Chinese yí yù (difficult cases) judicial tradition that culminates in Zhèng Kè’s Zhé yù guī jiàn (KR3c0007) and Guì Wànróng’s Táng yīn bǐ shì (KR3c0008). Substantively the work collects historical cases where the judicial determination required exceptional reasoning, presented as exemplars for legal training. The frontmatter brackets to ca. 940–1000.
