In what era did "Fa" come into being in China?

Let's talk about what ancient laws are. "Suoyin" quoted "Interpretation of Names" and said: "The law is also stated, so the yang is also stated." This was originally borrowed from Er Ya, who also interpreted law as power and law. In fact, law is the homonym of rate, and law is the knowledge about the proportion of all things. At the beginning of the Book of Laws, it said: "The legislation of the king makes things happen, and the rules of the entity are based on the six laws, which are the foundation of all things." Everything has a ratio, especially the word "content law" can explain the law more clearly. This sentence contains a basic understanding of the ancients, that is, everything is proportional, and the size of the ratio is the relationship of "three-point profit and loss" like the six laws. The law appeared in the pre-Qin period, and the Zhou Dynasty had a complete criminal law on slavery. The State of Jin once cast the Ding of Punishment and cast the criminal law on it. However, as far as the information is concerned, the law clearly called "Fa" should be the Qin law contained in Qin bamboo slips, including 18 Qin laws. , all in the name of "law". More importantly, Wei also had laws at that time.

If the landlord is talking about laws and regulations, it was also formed in the pre-Qin period, when the law was based on the three-point profit and loss method to calculate the specific value of the name. This temperament is also related to divination. Interestingly, the number of laws found in the Qin bamboo slips of the warring States period in Fangmatan is not the same as that recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records".
