There was a case recorded in Mianning County Archives of Qing Dynast, and the two lawsuit main bodies, bodies Wu Hua and Xie Changda accused each other because their children had a quarrel. Intellectual Wu Hua accused county government for 9 times and state government for 3 times, which manifested clearly his character of litigiosity and vexatiousness. Once people were involved in lawsuits against the background of non-litigation dominated in the traditional society, they not only faced bravely the lawsuits, but also did their efforts to win it. Besides, we could see power politics, government nonfeasance and parties' own factors hidden behind the case. It was these factors that caused litigiosity and vexatiousness.At the same time, litigiosity and vexatiousness may be a good thing in modern view.
