In China, the salt monopoly system had taken effect for long time. And Yuan dynasty mostly had depended on salt monopoly revenue. Accordingly the government of Yuan dynasty had been concerned with administration of the salt monopoly system and violators of that system. So the law of salt monopoly system, which consists of administrative norms in relation to the monopoly of salt and the punishment for disobeying that norms, appeared and organized at that time. There are few existing code of Yuan dynasty. In 2003, However, the remnants of Jijeongjogyeok(至正條格) which is the last code of Yuan dynasty are discovered in Korea. Therefore the study on the law of Yuan dynasty is possible now and this thesis intends to analyze the law of salt monopoly system in Jijeongjogyeok. The characteristic of the law of salt monopoly system in Jijeongjogyeok is as follows. First, in comparison with Wonjeon- jang(元典章) which is the code edited by a local government of Yuan dynasty, the law in Jijeongjogyeok seems to be arranged but there is still a bit complexity. Second, there are many norms toward the government officials because it is necessary to use various officials for working of the monopoly system. Third, in Jijeongjogyeok there are norms associated with minor details like souse which is a by-product of salt.
