3. The criminal law of Daqing Qingxin adopts the bourgeois principle of "a legally prescribed punishment for a crime" in principle, which reflects a strong capitalist color in form, but the five provisional articles of association in the appendix reflect a strong feudal nature.
Although the current Criminal Law of the Qing Dynasty and the Criminal Law of the Qing Dynasty are both special criminal codes in the history of China, there are significant differences between them in style, content and principle.
Daqingxin Criminal Law is an important criminal law in the late Qing Dynasty, which was promulgated and implemented in 1904. It was revised and perfected on the basis of the old criminal law, which mainly stipulated and supplemented some problems and contradictions existing in the society at that time, trying to solve them by legal means. The following is a detailed introduction to the main contents of the big fresh criminal law.
