According to the ancient Chinese, “the appetite for food and sex is part of human nature.” Fornication, stemming from sexual impulses, was nevertheless regarded as one of the illicit intercourses that needed to be rectified in society. within addressing people’s misconducts, “is it better to regulate them by criminal penalties, or to restrain them by the rules of decorum?” It was a question that aroused controversy between the Confucianists and the Legalists in the pre-Zhin era. By means of judgments, and even more, by legislation based on the principles of decorum, the controversy was harmoniously resolved during the Han dynasty. From the Tang dynasty onward, parties convicted of fornication were sentenced to criminal penalties as clearly regulated in the penal code. It remained in effect until the emergence of the western powers which wielded a formidableinfluence onthe old empire at the end of the Qing dynasty. A new policy was made that led to a full revision of the traditional legal system, which led to the reception of western-styled-law. But, as the reform took place by leaps and bounds, it brought with it numerous complications, among which was the rivival of the ancient controversy between the Confucianists and the Legalists. Concerning the issue of fornication, both paraties engaged in fierce debates, one of which revolved around the maintenance vs. the abolishment of such a statute. It was the most compelling argumentation in Chinese legal history. In this article, the writer firstly attempts to interpret the meanings and nature of the crimes of illicit sexual intercourses prescribed in the traditional Chinese penal codes. It will examine the correlation of the norms and how the legal reasoning proceeded. Following will bean inquiry into the precise nature of legal revision, especially in regard to whether the statute about fornication had to be maintained or deleted; thus, the concerns and doubts on social values and on moral choices in the changing society of the late Qing dynasty could be distinctly comprehended. Secondly, an attempt will be made to explore how the mutual effects of the legal system and the rules of decorum worked under the then powerful western impact.
