The Characteristics And Advantages Of Preaching Laws In The <The Sixteen Articles Of The Holy Oracles>

The oracle preaching is a very important educational activity of the Qing government.The central and local governments of all dynasties have continuously issued decrees to strengthen the local "oracle preaching" system.Since the release of Kangxi’s "Sixteen Articles of the Oracle" and Yongzheng’s "Guangxun of the Oracle",the books of interpretation have been issued at the same time.The combination of oracle preaching and laws has gradually occupied the mainstream.Therefore,with the preaching of the oracle in all parts of the country,legal norms have also been spread along with the preaching.first,The Interpretation of “the Sixteen Articles of the Holy Oracles” by Xia Xin the preaching of the Holy Oracles is a very important educational activity of the Qing government,and the central and local governments of all dynasties have continuously issued decrees to strengthen the local "preaching of the Holy Oracles" system Since its release,the book of interpretation has been issued in unison.The combination of oracle preaching and laws has gradually occupied the mainstream.Therefore,with the preaching of the oracle in all parts of the country,legal norms have also been spread along with the preaching.The style arrangement is more reasonable,and the oracles are combined with laws.Secondly,the “the Sixteen Articles of the Holy Oracles” can be divided into four parts: "filial piety,fraternity and harmony with the clan and the township party"."Pay attention to agriculture and frugality to protect the family and household,and discipline yourself under the training of"." encourage learning and oppose heresy to maintain integrity,and knows the law and etiquette to become the custom"."Prohibit false accusations,oppose the harboring of prisoners,pay taxes on time to avoid punishment,and protect the body and life of the enemy".Each of these four parts is accompanied by laws and regulations,and the 85 laws cited can be found in the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" and "Regulations on the Arrest".These laws are not randomly selected,but are very "targeted" and "relevant" to the content of the oracle.Thirdly,taking "relevance" as the standard,personalized "selection" and "processing" of legal knowledge are allowed.These amendments basically retain the main part of the law and delete the differences between complex circumstances and subtle sentencing in the law.In the process of his choice,Xia Xin will carry out "the law of the elder beating the younger" and invoke severe punishment.In the process of processing,delete the applicable subjects of "small notes","expansion",and "limitation" laws,as well as the content of alternative laws.Finally,these legal norms do not require absolute completeness and accuracy.The reason is that the main audience of the oracle is the ordinary people with low education,who are naturally unable to understand the comprehensive law.And the main purpose of the oracle is to make people "know the law","fear the law" and "stay away from the law".Therefore,they only need to understand the basic laws that can reflect the authority of the state in the oracle to achieve the effect of law popularization advocated by the rulers.Compared to other works interpreting the Oracle,“the Sixteen Articles of the Holy Oracles” has more advantages in style,"relevance" of cited laws,and personalized "selection" and "processing" of laws.Although it also has some errors,overall,its shortcomings are not outweighed.
