作为中国法律思想中的重要组成部分,"无讼"思想的形成有政治、经济、文化、社会结构等方面的原因。"无讼"思想在建立和谐社会关系、建设社会道德教化、节约司法资源方面对中国古代法制有着积极的影响,其亦导致中国古代社会法律体系不健全、司法不公、个人权利意识淡薄等消极影响。"无讼"思想对当代中国特色社会主义法治建设的指引价值在于,在社会转型期的社会和谐稳定建设、构建全民共建共享的多元化纠纷解决机制、防止"法律万能主义"、促进人民陪审员制度建设等方面均发挥着潜移默化的影响。

As an important part of China’s legal thought,the formation of"non-litigation"thought has political,economic,cultural,social structure and other reasons. The thought of"no litigation"has a positive impact on the ancient Chinese legal system in the aspects of building harmonious society,building social moral education and saving judicial resources. It also has a negative impact on the imperfect legal system,unfair judicial system and weak awareness of individual rights in ancient Chinese society. The guiding value of the"No litigation"to the construction of socialist rule of law with contemporary chinese characteristics lies in its subtle influence on the construction of social harmony and stability in the period of social transition,the construction of diversified dispute settlement mechanism jointly built and shared by all the people,the prevention of"law omnipotence",and the construction of people’s juror system.
