The legislation of the Ming Dynasty emphasized that laws should be concise, clear, and easy to understand, while also being pragmatic and fair to avoid officials abusing the law. Zhu Yuanzhang proposed the principle of "valuing the law and simplifying it", requiring clear and logical legal provisions to ensure that the public can understand and remember them. The law should also avoid being too complex or having multiple penalties for the same crime, in order to prevent judicial officials from exploiting legal loopholes for personal gain. In the first chapter of "Criminal Law Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty", it is mentioned that laws should be moderate like fishing nets, neither too dense nor too sparse, in order to maintain national harmony and order.
