Statutes of the Ming Dynasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collected Statutes of the Ming Dynasty (Traditional Chinese: 大明會典; Simplified Chinese: 大明会典; pinyin: Dà Míng Hùidǐan) is a 5 volume collection of Ming Dynasty law and procedures. It was compiled by Li Dongyang (李東陽 , 1447-1516 AD) and Shen Mingxing (申明行) over an 11 year period.

A second edition was ordered, resulting in a second name: Wanli huidian (萬曆會典). It was ordered in 1576 and completed in 1587. It covers the years between 1479 and 1584 AD. The 1587 edition was reproduced as a facsimile in Beijing by "Zonghua Shuju" in 1988.
