董仲舒“春秋决狱”思想及对法治建设的启示

DONG Zhongshu’s Thought of Chunqiujueyu and Its Enlightenment to the Construction of Rule of Law

中国古代有很多法律思想,中国古代的法律思想与儒家有很大关系,让中国古代法律一直走着儒家化的道路。董仲舒作为儒家的重要人物,其司法判决思想在中国古代司法思想中起着发端的作用,他提出了"春秋决狱"思想,主张以心治罪,让儒家思想有指导现实司法实践的效力。"春秋决狱"让儒家教义高于了法律条文,让儒家思想成了法律的源头,开启了法律儒家化,让中国古代司法实践重视道德教化的作用,用思想管制维护政权稳定。董仲舒的"春秋决狱"思想,对于当今中国的司法建设仍有一定的启示,能推动法治建设和道德教育的结合,使法治和德治形成相辅相成的关系。我们需要深度挖掘"春秋决狱"的时代意义,坚持程序正义,秉持司法公正,继承古代优秀的治理思想,推动全面依法治国建设。

There are many legal thoughts in ancient China, which have a great relationship with Confucianism, and ancient Chinese laws have been on the road of Confucianism. As an important figure of Confucianism, DONG Zhongshu’s judicial judgment thought plays an initial role in ancient Chinese judicial thought. He put forward the thought of Chunqiujueyu, and advocated punishing with heart, so that Confucianism can guide the actual judicial practice. Chunqiujueyu makes Confucianism higher than the legal provisions, makes Confucianism the source of law, opens up the Confucianism of law, makes the ancient Chinese judicial practice pay attention to the role of moral education, and maintains the stability of political power with ideological control. DONG Zhongshu’s thought of Chunqiujueyu still has some enlightenment to the judicial construction in China today, which can promote the combination of the rule of law and moral education, and make the rule of law and rule of virtue form a complementary relationship. We need to dig deep into the era significance of Chunqiujueyu, adhere to procedural justice, uphold judicial justice, inherit the ancient excellent governance ideas, and promote the comprehensive rule of law.
