Does anyone know any good English reading on the foundations of Chinese legal history? Obviously I would expect a strong Confuscian influence but I’m looking to dig into it a little bit for a little research project I’m working on. Thanks in advance!
In my opinion, the most important contributor to Chinese legal history would be Legalism.

The original poster seems to have lost interest in the question…since the original post is gone. Nonetheless, I did take the time to reply to you Redandy, check your private messages.
This book is in the library of NTU.

Nope, still interested, and thanks for the responses. After I posted yesterday I had trouble viewing the thread, which is the reason for the delayed response.
