Origin of Law System in China
Copyright Yutopian 2000

The court system of China originated from the Xia Dynasty (2100-1600 B.C.). With the formation of the Xia kingdom, China evolved from a society of prehistoric tribe into a feudal system of social classes. From approximately the 2100 B.C., the ancient law system began to take its form and began the long journey of evolution.
