傳統法律文化符號的現代演繹

Modern Interpretation of Traditional Legal Culture Symbols

文化有其内在蘊藉和外在表現,兩者有密切關係,文化的精神實質需要以一定的物質形式表現出來,文化的物質表現也折射了特定的精神實質。舉凡與法律和司法有關的建築、雕塑、繪畫、器物、服裝服飾等,都是法律文化的外在表現,也有其雋永的精神内涵。歷史演進、時代變遷,傳統法律符號並非固守靜態,而是應時而變,保持歷久彌新的生命力。

Culture is born with internal implications and external forms,which are inherently connected.The spiritual essence of culture is displayed in material forms which retroactively reflect specific spiritual connotations.Architecture,sculptures,paintings,utensils,costumes,and other things related to law and justice are all external forms of legal culture,bearing eternal and meaningful spiritual connotations.With evolution of history and changes of times,traditional legal symbols are not limited to a single form,but change in response to times thus to maintain vitality.
