Song Xing Tong (English spelling)

Japanese: 宋刑統 - そうけいとう（英語表記）Song xing tong

The criminal code of the Northern Song Dynasty of China. It consists of 30 volumes and was compiled in the 4th year of the Jianlong era (963). The code named Jingtong includes the 21 volumes of Zhou Jingtong (no longer extant), which was compiled in the 5th year of the Xiande era (958) of Later Zhou. The Song Jingtong followed the style of the Tang Kaiyuan 25th year (737) commentary on the Law, but included decrees, formalities, and imperial orders in place at the time as supporting evidence, and made some changes to the wording to fit the Song system. It was the basic law throughout the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, and is an important historical resource for the study of the legal history of the Tang and Song dynasties. However, no printed copies have been handed down, and only a few Ming-dynasty notebooks have been handed down to Tianyi Pavilion, from which we can get a glimpse of the format of the Song dynasty. Although only a few fragments remain, almost the entire text has been handed down to the present day.

中国，北宋の刑法典。 30巻，太祖建隆4 (963) 年成立。刑統という名の法典には，後周顕徳5 (958) 年成った『周刑統』 21巻 (現存せず) がある。『宋刑統』はこれを受けて，唐開元 25 (737) 年律疏の体にならいながら，傍証法として，当時行われた令，格式および勅などを随所に収録し，また宋代の制度に合うよう字句に部分的変更を加えている。北宋，南宋を通じての基本法であり，唐宋法律史研究上の重要史料であるが，刊本は伝わらず，わずかに天一閣に伝えられた明代の鈔本により，宋代の体裁をうかがいうる。わずかの残欠があるが，ほぼ全文が現在に伝わっている。
