Abstract This paper comes to the conclusion that in ancient China,including the Huizhou Area in the Ming and Qing dynasties,the relationship between village regulations and state laws was basically harmonious and complementary,contradiction and conflicts,however,also existed and occurred constantly.In most cases,both sides would make compromises: state laws would give in to village regulations and the village regulations would offer to invite state laws to intervene,so that the implementation and sound interaction between the two could be achieved and the utmost goal of maintaining a stable social order in the rural area could be realized.
