Tort is an act that infringes on the rights and interests of others, so it can also be called infringement, which can be confirmed to some extent from the etymology. The word "infringement" in Chinese "was first used when compiling the Draft Civil Law of the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty." However, the concept of tort was not clearly defined in the civil law of old China.
