Product of Zhonghua Book Company – Ask the Banner People 
Law and Society in Qing Dynasty

Ask the Banner People: Law and Society in Qing Dynasty is another masterpiece about Qing Dynasty history by researcher Lai Huimin after Emperor Qianlong”s Purse. "Ask the Banner People", which means "ask the banner people regardless of the Manchu and Han", is the expression that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty distinguished the banner people and the people (Han people) in political and social status through legal means. This book focuses on the differences in the treatment of ethnic groups and gender in the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Starting from the dual social characteristics of the banner people in the Qing Dynasty, and taking the legal and social relations as the central axis, this book systematically compares the differences of banner women in family status, family disputes, property rights, legal proceedings, family forms and social organizations from three aspects: administrative organization, ethnic group and law, gender and judicial trial, which really represents the social life of women in Qing Dynasty.
