It has been touched upon at the beginning of The L Punishments,of The Book of Zhou,of the Book of History,a hot point which many debates happened to in the study of Chinese legal history ,that the Termination of The Liaison Between Celestial and Human beings.For a long time it has been argued that the fact and importance of the Termination.Though many scholars have studied it from the history of religion,or the history of thoughts and so on, while a few one the legal history,the opinions wary and no unanimous conclusion can be drawn.In the thesis of more than thirty thousand Chinese characters, its significance is specially discussed within the legal history,by analyzing the Termination recorded in The Book of Mountains and Seas. The article is divided into four parts around its theme.Part 1: Tracing Back To The Thousands-year Source and Studying The Termination By The Book of Mountains and Seas.In many articles and works,the Termination of The Liaison Between Celestial and Human beings has an indefinite source.At the beginning of the discourse it is introduced that the two sources of the Termination which people often mentioned.They are The L Punishments,of The Book of Zhou,of the Book of History and Chu Yu of Guo Yu.The article also explicates the relationship between the two records and their value,saying that Chu Yu of Guo Yu was compiled later than The L Punishments,of The Book of Zhou,of the Book of History but their importance can not be judged only by the time when they were compiled.In fact the Termination was mythologically recorded in The Book of Mountains and Seas the famous pre-Qin book.In the part,the writer introduces the time and the nature of The Book of Mountains and Seas,thinking it passes on many messages of the primitive time with the images and reflection of true history and taking it as a new attempt to study the legalhistory by it.Part 2: Reviewing The Connection Between the Termination and San Miao From Place Names.The Termination is an event about witches and sorcerers and has been connected to San Miao in The L Punishments,of The Book of Zhou,of The Book of History.In The Book of Mountains and Seas there are several mythological records about the Termination.At the same time there are many records about Doctors and Medical Herbs and more one about the Supreme Beings with half character of God and half character of human beings.They also can be connected to the Termination.Examining the places where those witches,sorcerers and supreme beings appeared,we can find that it is a widespread phenomenon that the Termination of The Liaison Between Celestial and Human beings.Tlius we can draw a conclusion:lt is doubtful that The Book of History's records of the places where the Termination happened.ln some orthodox books,the Termination was written down as the Central Plains'ruler's key measures against San Miao's Confusion Between Celestial and Human beings.Up to now San Miao's history is not known very well but archaeology has discovered that it belongs to the southern culture which is distorted rather than be paid attention to in the traditional history which takes the Central Plains'culture as legitimism. Maybe it is neutral that The Book of Mountains and Seas' records.According to archaeology,China's culture appeared like the stars in the sky.Though the Yellow River valley played an important pole,meantime other cultures with different characteristics in other areas advanced along their own ways.The legal culture has also taken a similar way.Part 3:Approaching The Nature of The Termination From Witches and Sorcerers.Some scholars think the Termination as a religious event while other people take it as an ancient myth.In the article it is regarded as an important event both in the history of legal thoughts and thehistory of legal system.After that the secular power and the jurisdiction were established above religious power and there was not theocracy but ordeal in China.Mr.Qu Tong-zhu once pointed out that unlike ancient Greeks our ancestors had no concept that...
