惩治官吏贪赃罪是我国古代吏治中的一项重要内容。由夏到清,惩赃法律制度日臻系统并完善。由于私有制经济这个总根源的存在,历代惩贪实践效果均不理想。但在明初,由于朱元璋的大力整饬,贪赃现象得到了很大程度上的控制。其严厉程度和惩治贪官的决心在整个中国法制史上都是独一无二的。 It is an important part of our official management in our country to punish officials for their crime of bribery. From summer to Qing dynasty, the legal system of punishment and punishment became more and more systematic and perfect. Due to the existence of the general source of private-owned economy, the past performance of punishment and corruption has not been satisfactory. However, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, due to the great efforts of the emperor, corruption was largely controlled. Its severity and determination to punish corrupt officials are unique throughout the history of legal history in China.
