Abstract :
The acquisitive prescription was a type of system in Roman law used for making up the deficiencies under the formal doctrine as well as the power vacuum caused by wars. The elements influencing the emergence of the system also included historical cultures, geographical environments, and relationships with other systems, etc. The “Qing She” system in ancient China was a provisional measure made by feudal dynasties in particular war times to restore agricultural production and as well improve tax revenue. There were some similarities between the system and the acquisitive prescription; nonetheless there were fundamental difference between two of them in terms of causes, system values, applicable scopes, and cultural foundations, etc. There were no such historical traditions in China universally suitable for the acquisitive prescription.
