Traditional Chinese law

Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems

Traditional Chinese law refers to the legal system used across the Sinosphere, developed continuously since at least the eleventh century BCE. It is distinct from the common law and civil law traditions of the West, as well as from Islamic law and classical Hindu law, and it incorporates elements of both the Legalist and Confucian traditions of social order and governance.

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
