Dousonglu ("Assaults and Accusations") is the 8^(th) monograph of Tanglu Shuyi (The Tang Codes). There are 60 articles (No. 302~361) in this monograph, which contains two parts including the first 38 articles are about affrays and the last ones about accusations. Shuyi said: "At first, [the monograph] was legislated to stipulate the punishments for affrays and then for the accusations." Therefore, Dousonglu tended to protect people's legal benefits of lives, bodies and litigations. However, when it described the origins of the Tang Code's Dousonglu there were some mistakes in the preface of Shuyi. This paper considers that the Tang Code's Dousonglu originated from Li Kui's Fajing (the Book of Law), which had primarily influenced later five codes, including the Han Code, the Wei Code, the Jin Code, the North Wei Code, and the North Qi Code. In all of these codes, there were relatives articles about affrays and accusations. Then, the Tang Code inherited the North Qi Code's monograph "Assaults and Accusations" without changes. After the Tang Dynasty, the Song Code had similar articles of "Assaults and Accusations" in spite of some changes only between their edit modes. Thereafter, the following codes including the Jin Code, the Yuan Code, the Ming Code, and the Qing Code all had similar monographs and articles, which could be traced into the Tang Code's Dousonglu.
