清代浙江黄岩诉讼档案中的状词,大多语言表述较为平实,基本不存在夸饰案情的情况。这说明清代后期诉讼状词中的诉求十分明确,否则会遭到官府的驳回。同时,官方对呈递上来的诉状批复时,大多都能慎重而又准确地处理,恣意而为者很少。通过对这批档案的解读,能进一步回到真实的历史场景中,逐步摆脱“西方中心主义”对中国法律史研究甚至中国法学研究的束缚。 In Qing Dynasty Zhejiang Huangyan litigation files in the rhetoric, most of the language is more plain, there is no basic case of exaggeration. This shows that in the late Qing Dynasty litigation claims are very clear, otherwise they will be rejected by the government. In the meantime, when the government replies to the petitions presented up, most of them can be handled cautiously and accurately without much choice. Through the interpretation of these files, we can further return to the real historical scene and gradually shake off the shackles of “Western centralism ” on the study of Chinese law history and even the study of Chinese law.
