Old Chinese Criteria
1. The current general word for a law, a legal system or any legal provision of any kind is fǎ 法.
2. Lu �律 is far more specialised as a specific term referring to concrete and detailed regulations rather than a legal system as a whole, and the word is also syntactically much less flexible. Thus we have 先王之法 and not 先王之律.
The complexities of legal terminology can be preliminarily summarised as follows:
A. The rule may be explicit (chéng 程, diǎn 典, fǎ 法, hào 號, lu �律 ); or it may be primarily conventional (cháng 常, jì 紀, jīng 經, zhì 制 ).
B. The rule may be conceived as temporary (lìng 令, dù 度, chéng 程, hào 號 ); or it may be conceived as permanent and unchangeable (cháng 常, diǎn 典, jì 紀, jīng 經 ); or it may be conceived as long-term but clearly changeable (fǎ 法, lu �律, xiàn 憲, zhāng 章, zhì 制 ).
C. The rules may concern legal and economic administration (chéng 程, diǎn 典, dù 度, lu �律, xiàn 憲, zhāng 章, zhì 制, and occasionally fǎ 法 ); or they may concern prohibitions of criminal conduct (fǎ 法, pì 辟, xíng 刑 ); or they may be general moral guidelines on conduct (cháng 常, hào 號, lìng 令, jì 紀 ).
D. The focus may be on the written documents containing the rules as such (diǎn 典, xiàn 憲, zhāng 章 ); or the focus may be on the content of the rules (cháng 常, chéng 程, dù 度, lìng 令, zhì 制 ); or the primary focus may be on oral promulgation of the rule (hào 號 ).
E. The rules may be regarded as a collective system (cháng 常, jì 紀, jīng 經, zhì 制 ); or they may be conceived as individual legal prescriptions (all others).

Old Chinese Contrasts
1. The basic contrast is between statutes or legal provisions governing the practice of the law itself (xiàn 憲, lu �律 ), and the legal provisions governing directly the behaviour of those for whom the law is valid (fǎ 法 ).
2. Next there is an important contrast between criminal law (xíng 刑 ) on the one hand, and economic regulations (chéng 程, dù 度 ) on the other.
3. Third there is the contrast between traditional and conventional law (jì 紀, jīng 經 ) and positive law (fǎ 法 ).

Words
法 fǎ OC: pab MC: pi̯ɐp 104 Attributions
The current general word for a law, a legal system or any legal provision of any kind is fǎ 法.
- Word relations
- Subject: 立/ESTABLISH
The current general word for setting up anything abstract or concrete is lì 立 and the almost equally common shè 設. - Ant: 私/SELFISH
The standard word for selfishness in classical Chinese is sī 私. - Object: 奉/RESPECT
- Object: 守/SAFEGUARD
Bǎo 保 (which emphasises safety against dangers or threats) and shǒu 守 (which emphasises good care and the ensuring that something is not lost or impaired) are the two general words for safeguarding things. - Object: 專/MONOPOLISE
Zhuān 專 emphasises that one takes exclusive control, by whatever means. - Object: 廢/DISCARD
Fèi 廢 and the rarer tì 替 (all ant. zhì 置 "establish"!!!! See also no. 4 below.) refer to discarding something one has made use of or has been involved with for some time. - Object: 按/RELY ON
- Object: 枉/TWIST
Wǎng 枉 (ant. zhèng 正 "straight and unwarped") refers to bending as distortion. The word is predominantly transferred in meaning and prototypically refers to the bending of the law. - Object: 犯/OFFEND
Fàn 犯 (ant. cǒng 從 "follow obediently") refers as a derogatory term to a deliberate and active breaking of a rule. - Object: 背/OFFEND
- Object: 變/CHANGE
The most current general words for objective and typically abrupt change are biàn 變 "change from one's original state to become something different" (ant. héng �� "remain constant"). - Object: 逆/OFFEND
The current most general word for offending against what one is obliged to act in accordance with or going against a current is probably nì 逆 (ant. shùn 順 "follow and obey"), which refers to any action which goes against something. - Object: 懸 / 縣/HANG
The current general word for hanging something up or suspending it in the air is xuán 懸. - Object: 執/CONTROL
- Object: 守/CONFORM
Shǒu 守 refers to conformity construed as a matter of guarding a precedent or a tradition. - Object: 致/ACT
- Object: 致/ACHIEVE
Zhì 致 refers specifically to remarkable successful action, typically on others' behalf. [ALTRUISTIC], [DIFFICULT]; [VERB] - Object: 作 / 作 / 作/CREATE
Zuò 作 (ant. shù 述"transmit") focusses on an autonomous initiative being taken, and the word can refer to a commendable act of creation as well as a reprehensible act of political disobedience. The word focusses on the product resulting of the action. - Epithet: 公/JUSTICE
- Epithet: 峻/SEVERE
Jù4n 峻 (ant. píng 平 "even-handed") refers dramatically to the savageness of punishments. - Epithet: 常/ENDURING
Cháng 常 and the especially emphatic héng 恆 "highly constant and permanent" (ant.* ǒu 偶 "contingency and consequent changeability") emphasise the constancy or constant recurrence of the attributes of what is lasting, and typically - though not always - the constancy is valued positively. - Epithet: 天/HEAVEN
- Epithet: 嚴 / 嚴儼/SEVERE
The current general commendatory term for severeness is yán 嚴 (ant. kuān 寬 "lax"). - Epithet: 酷/CRUEL
- Epithet: 公/EQUAL
- Epithet: 苛/SEVERE
Kē 苛 and kù 酷 (ant.* rén 仁 "kind-hearted" and bù rěn 不忍 "be unable to stand") refer to flagrant extravagance in the severeness of punishments. - Epithet: 百/ALL
Bǎi 百 is occasionally used to refer to the whole of a well-defined group of things. >>ADNOMINAL - Epithet: 治/GOVERN
The general word for governing, administering or ordering things is zhì 治, old reading chí. - Epithet: 籍/DOCUMENT
Jǐ2 籍 refers to a formal and official record, typically a population register or a written official statute. - Contrast: 刑/PUNISH
Xíng 刑 refers specifically to physical punishment. - Contrast: 刑/LAW
- Contrast: 令/COMMAND
The standard current word for a command is lìng 令, and the content (not the words) of the command is typically in the sentence that follows. We do not find: 令曰, and it is significant that lìng 令 also regularly means "to cause to". - Assoc: 度/LAW
- Assoc: 令/LAW
- Assoc: 制/LAW
- Assoc: 律/LAW
Lǜ 律 is far more specialised as a specific term referring to concrete and detailed regulations rather than a legal system as a whole, and the word is also syntactically much less flexible. Thus we have 先王之法 and not 先王之律. - Assoc: 禁/FORBID
The current dominant general word referring to public prohibition is jìn 禁 (ant. quàn 勸 "encourage"). - Assoc: 式/LAW
- Assoc: 典/LAW
- Assoc: 刑/LAW
- Assoc: 籍/DOCUMENT
Jǐ2 籍 refers to a formal and official record, typically a population register or a written official statute. - Assoc: 非/NOT
- Synon: 律/LAW
Lǜ 律 is far more specialised as a specific term referring to concrete and detailed regulations rather than a legal system as a whole, and the word is also syntactically much less flexible. Thus we have 先王之法 and not 先王之律. - Oppos: 私/PRIVATE
The dominant current word for privacy is sī 私 (ant. gōng 公 "public"), and the word designates everything that falls outside the responsibility of public administration. Contrast SELFISH. - Oppos: 禮/RITUAL
The current general term for everything relating to the system of ritual propriety is lǐ 禮. However the term can also be used to refer to individual prescribed rituals. - Oppos: 仁義/GOOD
This refers to morality in general, including virtues other than those mentioned explicitly in the binome.
