明清时期活卖习惯的秩序空间

The Order Space of Flexible Selling Custom in Ming-Qing Dynasties

文章从稳定性的规范及灵活性的引导两个方面对明清活卖习惯存在的秩序空间进行了考察。明清两代无论是最高统治者还是地方官员,由于没有深刻的法学理论指导,其针对活卖所制定的律例或者法令只是临时性的、应急性的,使得律例和法令缺乏一致性、一体性,而这却给予了活卖得以存在的秩序空间。

The article probes into the order space of flexible selling custom in Ming-Qing dynasty from two aspects of the stable regulation and the flexible guidance. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, both supreme rulers and local officers are lack of profound legal theory as their instruction, so the legislations and rulings on flexible selling made by them just are temporary and to deal with emergencies, short of consistency and unity. This is also the reason why flexible selling exists.
