| Résumé anglais |
While the administration of justice and divination were not linked in the legal code itself, this does not mean the practices themselves were unconnected. An examination of debates over the appropriateness of interpreting results arrived at through technical procedures in both areas shows that by the Han these practices were conceptualized in similar ways. A concrete example of this similarity is the influence of the duality of hard and pliant, central to milfoil divination, on early discussions of the development of ethical judgement in a judicial setting.
