Abstract
An overview of Qin legal thinking as reflected in archaeologically recovered codes of the period, excavated from the Shuihudi site in 1975. Guided by the annotations of Chinese scholars and a technical translation by A.F.P. Hulsewé, a topical selection of passages is provided. These bring into question the standard portrait of Qin legal thought and practice as absolutist and totalitarian.
