清代黔东南新辟苗疆六厅地区的法律控制

The Legal Control of the Liuting District of the Miao Nationality in the South-East Guizhou Province in Qing Dynasty

In the times of Emperor Yongzheng, the society of Liuting District of the Miao Nationality was controlled by the customary law. Since the times of Emperor Qianlong, the government put in force a flexible and practical legal policy in the area, judging the litigations between Miao people with customary laws of Miao Nationality, while judging the litigations between Miao people and Han people with the laws of Qing Dynasty. The government also set up in the place some administration departments and garrison different from those of inland, governingMiao people and Han people respectively and exempting the tax. The dominant idea of the legal control was to keep the social stability of the border area and to maintain the interests of each nationality.
