What are the wonderful laws in the history of China?

In the Qin dynasty, there was a rule that height was the standard of legal responsibility, that is, men were six feet five inches and women were six feet two inches. In fact, this seems to be some wonderful things from now on, but it was also a helpless move at that time, because ordinary people generally did not receive a good education and did not pay attention to fertility, so a family gave birth to many children and did not need to register, so the age at that time was based on height.

In addition, there was also a regulation in the Han Dynasty that "three or more people drink four ounces for no reason". "Without reason" here means that three or more people gather to drink alcohol without reason and will be fined. Perhaps different historical backgrounds have different understandings of wine.

It is still a bit heavy to be sentenced for studying astronomy privately in past dynasties, because the ancient people called those in power the sons of heaven, and the people believed that those in power were sent by heaven to rule them, so you should study things in the sky privately.

There was a rule in the Ming Dynasty that criminals went to serve as soldiers in remote areas. We often see some punishments in film and television dramas, that is, sending them to the frontier. In Ming Dynasty, there were two levels of sending frontier troops, one was "lifelong" and the other was "permanent". One is only about your life, and the other determines the fate of future generations.
