3. s Art. 5, etc. * Art. 9. The Early Institutional Life of Japan. 255 people occupy a subsidiary position. Tiie words Ji andT' mean the superior and inferior officers, not the emperor and the -people. They are admonished to be peaceful with one another, 3 to be diligent,'' to^ cortsultieg one another for im- portant business,* and to be impartial in their judgments of the litigations of the people.^ The word " State " (S^) occurs in three articles,'' and the expression is the customary Chinese... phrase. Not less remarkable are the words " public " (•&■) and " private " (k),^ but it seems unwarranted to think that they were as in modern times indicative of the affairs concerning, respectively, the State -and the individual, for the references would allow another interpretation which seems more in agree- ment with the conditions that prevailed in 604. That is to say, things pertaining to the emperor were " public," for, if we take it for granted that the notion of the State was still un- developed in Japan, the emperor must have bfcen identical with it or precedent to it.
