ABSTRACT

In the view of history of law, the Song Dynasty was an important period of transition of the Order of Day and Night of the traditional Chinese agricultural society. In the Chinese ancient times, all people worked at the sunrise and rest after sunset, but with the relaxation of the curfew，the city people’s activity of the Song dynasty carried on the night. The Shang‐yuan Festival had changed the order of Day and Night in ancient China to the greatest extent and the emperors took advantage of this time, celebrating the festival not only with officials but also with the people together. The happy festive air all over the world and social communication of the public place was described in the literary work of Song Dynasty. On the other side，the people of Song Dynasty continued the understanding of the legality about the day and the illegality about the night. The trend of “assembling at night and separating at day” changed into secret religious，so the government of Song Dynasty drew up the Bao‐Jia system as the protective role in the night. With the increase of social mobile population, the passengers got accommodation at night, and set out at daybreak. This phenomenon became important aspects of the order of day and night of Song Dynasty，so the government of Song Dynasty strengthened the control of hotel.
