Features: Yunnan is a multi-ethnic region. The people of various ethnic groups in Yunnan have historically created distinctive legal systems and legal cultures, which are both an integral part of the Chinese legal system and possess unique ethnic and regional characteristics. This book conducts research starting from the ancient Kingdom of Dian, passing through local regimes such as the Nanzhou and Dali, as well as the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and modern Yunnan local regimes. It provides an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the content and evolution of the legal systems in each period. Additionally, it introduces and studies the historically distinctive customary laws of Yunnan's ethnic groups, the legal systems of minority regimes led by Du Wenxiu and Li Wenxue, and the legal systems of revolutionary bases during Yunnan's democratic revolution period.
