Abstract
In the preface of his Law and Society in Traditional China of the first edition, Qu Tongzhu analyzed traditional law and society based on his assumption that the social structure maintained almost the same since Han to Qing dynasty. Although such declaration no longer existed in the new edition after 1981, the classic book still enjoyed the assumption. The assumption missed some obvious and important changes during Chinese history. Led by the structure functionalism, Qu Tongzhu also did not pay attention to motivation and aim of law in this book. As a result, the method aboove affected his four books’some contents and conclustions incorrectly.
