Great Yuan Code

The Great Yuan Code refers to a set of legal and administrative laws established during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) in China, ruled by the Mongols. It standardized governance, social order, and justice across the empire, incorporating traditional Chinese law with Mongol influences. Think of it as a framework that guided daily life, governance, and legal decisions, aiming for stability and consistency in a vast, diverse realm. The code influenced governance models in later periods and reflected the Mongols’ efforts to integrate their rule with Chinese administration.
