家国传统与治理转型

The Tradition of Family-State and the Transition of Governance

传统中国的国家治理模式可以用家国传统(即家国二元一体结构)来概括,其成因包括战争和祭祀两方面。其后虽历经三代之封建宗法、帝制之礼法结合的数千年历史演变,但是这种血缘关系与政治权力相融合的家国一体的治理模式与结构保持不变,成为华夏文明的内在基因和传统国家治理的路径依赖。推进国家治理能力和治理体系的现代化,即意味着从家国传统向现代治理模式的转型,从家国二元一体模式转变为国家、社会和公民的三元主体模式,继而从传统的礼法之治迈向现代法治。

The Chinese traditional mode of governance can be summarized as family- state mode（the family-state two-in-one structure）, which was formed from the war and sacrifice in the ancient times. Although it went through thousands of years of historical evolution with the combination of feudalism patriarchal clan system and imperial rite, this family- state governance mode maintained its structure based on the unity of blood lineage and political power, and became the cultural gene and path dependence of Chinese civilization.Promoting the modernization of the state governance requires the transition from the family- state mode to modern governance mode, which means the family- state two- in- one mode needs to be transformed into the state- society- citizen three- in- one mode, so as to transform from the traditional rule of rite to modern rule of law.
