论后燕的法制

On the Legality of Later Yan Dynasty

后燕是十六国后期中原地区最强盛的一个王国,后燕的统治者奉行以威刑治天下的法制原则,行政体制上采用胡汉分治,选官以随才擢用为主要方式,刑法的锋芒所指主要是危害君主专制的行为,且越到后期用刑越酷烈,后燕的法制处处表现出动荡之世的特征。

Among sixteen kingdoms of Eastern Jin,Later Yan was the most powerful one in the area of Central Plains.The rulers of Later Yan Dynasty pursued the criminal penalty as the legal rule of social control. The minority nationalities and the Han nationality governed seperately in the administrative system.Promotion system was the main way of official selection.The criminal law mainly aimed at the action which endangered the autocratic monarchy,and the penalty was crueler and crueler during the later period.
