Chinese rat-catcher. A rat-catcher is a person who practices rat-catching as a professional form of pest control. Keeping the rat population under control was practiced in Europe to prevent the spread of diseases, most notoriously the Black Plague, and to prevent damage to food supplies. In modern developed countries, such a professional is otherwise known as a pest control operative or pest technician. Rat-catchers may attempt to capture rats themselves, or release ratters, animals trained or naturally skilled at catching them. They may also set a rat trap or other traps.

China: Two Chinese Jews of Kaifeng, late 19th century. The Kaifeng Jews are members of a small Jewish community that has existed in Kaifeng, in the Henan province of China, for hundreds of years. Jews in modern China have traditionally called themselves Youtai (from Judah) in Mandarin Chinese which is also the predominant contemporary Chinese language term for Jews in general. However, the community was known by their Han Chinese neighbours as adherents of Tiaojinjiao, meaning, loosely, the religion which removes the sinew (a reference to kashrut).

During the Qing dynasty, criminal justice was based on extremely detailed Great Qing Legal Code. One element of the traditional Chinese criminal justice system is the notion that criminal law has a moral purpose, one of which is to get the convicted to repent and see the error of his ways. In the traditional Chinese legal system, a person could not be convicted of a crime unless he has confessed. This often led to the use of torture, in order to extract the necessary confession.

China: 'Hell Currency' - a Hell credit card bearing an image of the Jade Emperor. A modern variant of hell currency used in ancestor worship in traditional Chinese society.
