The document entitled "Ju Lu" found on Strips 82 to 85, discusses laws regarding sentence commutations for nobility. For relatives of the emperor or descendents of nobility, and for those who had attained the noble rank of shangzao or higher, who were sentenced to 4 years of manual labor (re)building city walls, their punishments could be reduced to either collecting wood for the imperial temple or picking out top-quality rice to be used in sacrificial offerings. This paper will discuss the following issues: 1) What level of nobility is shangzao classified as? Can this be proven by existing manuscripts and recently unearthed artifacts? 2) Strip 85 records that King Lu Xuan received treatment equal to that of the emperor. What kind of historical background does this kind of unusual law reflect? 3) What kind of historical meaning did the system of conferring titles of nobility have at that time? Does this along with the commutation of sentences, prove the positive effect of imperial favor? 4) Can the selection of sentence commutation allow the favor of commuting the sentence achieve its maximum effect? 5) The wives of those who had noble status enjoyed the same type of preferential treatment. This is a difference between Han law and that of its Qin predecessor. Are there any situations in which the wife would not benefit from the husband's noble status? 6) Han law was based on Qin law. Yet, for those laws regarding punishments, modifications were made in which punishments were to be meted out based on a person's age. This proved to make the spirit of the law that much more apparent and the punishments delineated that much more reasonable.
