明代云南刑法原则和刑罚手段的变化

On the Changes of the Principles of Criminal Law and the Related Means in Yunnan

明代随着中央政权在云南统治的深入和云南与内地政治、经济、文化诸方面联系的加强,明代云南刑法原则和刑罚手段发生了重大变化;其变化的原因是中央王朝对云南治理的加强,云南与内地各方面差距减少。

In the Ming Dynasty, the Central Government strengthened its rule of Yunnan. As a result Yunnan had a closer political, economic and cultural tie with the inland than before, which led to great changes of its principles of criminal law and the related means, that is, they were getting closer to those of the inland. This paper discusses and analyses the traits and causes of these changes.
