Abstract:

 Compared with the early Ming Dynasty, the procedures of trials for military officers under the reign of Chenghua and Hongzhi emperors had undergone certain changes in response to such issues as the contradictions between reality andancestral laws, the balance of interests among different interested parties—military or civilian plaintiff, defendant military officers and judicial officers, and the civil officials’ power expansion and division in the field judicial supervision by the primary means of formulating and modifying regulations. A Collection of Typed Rules and Regulations in the Ming Dynasty recorded a large number of legal documents related to the crimes committed by military officer, which are of great value to today’s research.

Key words:  A Collection of Typed Rules and Regulations in the Ming Dynasty, crimes committed by military officers, procedures of trials
