Based on analysis of The Trilogy of Criminal Cases Compilation edited by Shen Jiaben, this paper discusses the "zuiming" in the traditional Chinese law. The "accusation" is definitely not what is generally means in the sense of modern criminal law. The "zuiming" can be roughly interpreted as "punishment". Accordingly,the "names for the five categories of accusations" can be interpreted as the "names for punishment".
