Pure, orthodox and incorruptible, Judge Bao has been serving as the
preeminent embodiment of justice in China for almost a thousand
years, so much so his court cases have been adapted as stories,
novels and plays over the centuries. Now, for the very first time a
series of eight ballad-stories on Judge Bao, dating from the period
1250-1450, are offered in a complete and annotated translation.
These texts will provide the reader a reflection of the legend of
Judge Bao in its earliest phase of development, with an extended
introduction placing the ballad-stories in context with the
development of the Judge Bao legend. These ballad-stories, in
contrast to past plays dating from the same period, present abuse
of power and corruption as endemic in the courts and bureaucratic
service, and show Judge Bao imposing the rule of law even on the
emperor.
