Six Codes (Chinese: 六法; pinyin: Liù Fǎ; Kana: ろっぽう; Hangul: 육법) refers to the six main legal codes that make up the main body of law in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Which code systems involved sectioning and when the systems were used is not clear. Michael Smith mentions in The Emperor's Codes that British codebreakers were surprised by the appearance of sectioning in Japanese codes around 1937. [20] The British had been reading some Japanese codes since at least as far back as the Washington Naval Conference.
A copy of the code book was obtained in a "black bag" operation on the luggage of a Japanese naval attaché in 1923; after three years of work Agnes Driscoll was able to break the additive portion of the code. [2] [3] [4] Knowledge of the Red Book code helped crack the similarly constructed Blue Book code. [1]
The Code was revised during the Nara period to accommodate certain Japanese traditions and practical necessities of administration. The revised edition was named the Yōrō Code (養老律令, Yōrō-ritsuryō). [3] Major work on the Yōrō Code was completed in 718. [2] The Taihō Code contained only two major departures from the Tang model.
