Through analyzing the judgments of the Qingming Ji, the paper comes to three main conclusions. Firstly, the meaning between ‘Hao-min’ (豪民) and ‘rich people’ is different. The two terms can not refer to each other. Secondly, there is no significant difference in illegal behaviors between each ‘Hao-min’. In the development of a society, however, in order to gain certain privileges ‘Hao-min’ used to bribe officials and then infringing upon the revenue of the government. It is a noteworthy point. Finally, most of the descriptions of the ‘Hao-min’ are based on the authority’s point of view which emphasized the distance between officials and the public. By using metaphors, ‘Hao-mins’ are described as perpetrators in order to highlight the image of their victims. More then that, a tone of ‘warning’ was also used in the judgments to build up negative images of ‘Hao-mins’.
