略论成丁对民事行为能力的影响

On the Influence of Cheng Ding on the Capacity of Civil Conduct

传统社会中关于"成丁为民事行为能力具备"的习惯说法并不妥当。在没有充分论证的情况下,将赋役制度上表示身份的名词等同法学上的民事行为能力稍嫌武断。结合中国古代特定的社会历史条件与契约文书、司法判例等典籍的分析,不难发现,无论从逻辑层面还是实践层面,成丁仅与赋役的征免相联系,与民事行为能力的具备与否无关。

The customary saying that“a Ding has the capacity for civil conduct”in traditional society is not appropriate.In the absence of sufficient argumentation,it is somewhat arbitrary to equate the nouns expressing status in the taxation system with the capacity for civil conduct in jurisprudence.Combining the specific social and historical conditions in ancient China and the analysis of contract documents,judicial precedents and other classics,it is not difficult to find that,whether from a logical or practical level,Cheng Ding is only related to the exemption of tax and service,and whether it has civil capacity Irrelevant.
