The case of Confucius executing Shaozhengmao is one of ancient China's classic cases,with much scholarly research focusing on historical and textual analysis rather than practical application.In the Song Dynasty,this case was cited much more frequently than in other eras,with notable figures such as Wang Anshi,Su Shi,Li Gang,and Zhu Xi being compared to Shaozhengmao,often leading to their rapid demotion.Despite scholarly skepticism about the case's authenticity,its citation in practice continued,showing that the creation of a case's significance depends on the appropriateness of its citation context rather than its factual accuracy.The Song Dynasty's"nobleman—villain distinction,"the revival of"the laws of the ancient kings,"and the resurgence of harsh punishment in penal practice contributed to the high contextual suitability of citing the case,highlighting its impact on the normalization of judicial procedures and conviction standards,which is worthy of much more attention.
