Abstract
The main attempt in this paper is to analyze the Dupian xinshu 杜騙新書 (New Book on Frauds and Scams) published in the late Ming on the basis of the discourses on “litigious society,” recently discussed by Chinese historians such as Fuma Susumu. The main concern in the Dupian xinshu is with the crimes of frauds and scams. In particular, while depicting the crimes, the book also focuses on the portrayal of merchant classes or the middle classes dwelling in urban areas. The prominent example of “litigious society” is contemporary American society. Until recently have a number of legal historians claimed that litigations were suppressed by the imperial Chinese government so hard that ordinary people preferred to resolve disputes by mediation rather than by going to court. On the other hand, however, some records such as the Dupian xinshu clearly show that the Chinese were extremely litigious. Considering the litigiousness of traditional Confucian society such as imperial China and Joseon Korea, in which the ideal of “no litigation” was firmly supported and pursued by Confucian elites, the discourses on “litigious society” will provide us with a new understanding of East Asian legal culture. The Dupian xinshu seems remarkable on the ground that the book sheds light on the varied aspects of litigious society through the portrayal of late Ming urban society, in which people rely on market and money economy. The world portrayed in the Dupian xinshu became more and more interdependant, apart from rural society centering on the closed self‒reliant community. This kind of social change was the background for premodern “litigious society.” Furthermore, I think the most valuable in the Dupian xinshu shoule be the popular perception of law expressed in it. The book clearly demonstrates that the assumption of traditional East Asian law as a mere tool for autocratic social control is seriously erroneous.
