In conclusion, the methodology adopted in this study aimed to provide a comprehensive and systematic approach to analyzing court cases and the underlying factors that shape judicial practice. By using archival documents, this research aimed to reconstruct the institutional context of the changing legal practice in China during the early 20th century, with a focus on marriage-related court cases from 1912 to 1928. The process of selecting and categorizing the court cases based on different criteria allowed for a more precise and nuanced understanding of the factors that mediate the explanation for the variance between judgments. The linkage identified between judgments across different procedures and levels of court facilitated the mapping out of how a given legal principle identified by NAME_1 was top-down transmitted across courts. Overall, the methodological approach adopted in this study is a valuable contribution to the field of Chinese legal history and provides a solid foundation for analyzing the dynamics between law, culture, and practice.
