“优良家风”入法——《民法典》婚姻家庭编的中国底色及其价值

The Entry of“Establishing a Good Family Style”into the Law:The Chinese Background and Value of the Marriage and Family Part of Civil Code

民族内蕴的底色或者说道德体系构成了一个民族的内在基因,传承并不断升华的家风及其文化已经深植中华民族的灵魂深处,其不仅为家庭乃至家族确立行为典范,也为中国社会的前行和发展提供了独有的价值与秩序维护。《民法典》将优良家风以法律的形式加以确认,贯彻了民族文化,也成为落实社会主义核心价值观的法律依据。“家风条款”作为价值导向更是行为规范,通过将道德规范法律化,是对传统文化得以有效弘扬的良好方式。而在司法实务中落实该条款是树立优良家风和弘扬家庭美德的关键,“树立优良家风”入法,从微观角度看,为家风败坏、对子女失管失教等划出了法治红线,及时推动家风、家教等基本道德要求上升为法律规范,补上无法可依的治理短板。从宏观角度看,则进一步呼应了德治与法治相得益彰的时代大命题。法律作为道德的底线,其维系着道德的发展保障,中国底色的传统文化有凝聚力,但同样需要法律的刚才能有效推动社会文明进步。

The inner color of the nation or the moral system constitutes the internal gene of a nation.The inherited and sublimated family style and its culture have been deeply rooted in the soul of the Chinese nation,which not only establishes a behavior model for the family and even the clan,but also provides unique value and order maintenance for the advancement and development of Chinese society.The identification of the fine family style of the Civil Code in the form of law carries forward the national culture and thus become the legal basis for the implementation of the socialist core values.As a value orientation,the“family style clause”is also a code of conduct.By legalizing the code of ethics,it is a good way to effectively carry forward the traditional culture.In judicial practice,the implementation of this clause is the key to establish a good family style and carry forward family virtues.The entry of“establishing a good family style”into the law has drawn a red line of the rule of law for the deterioration of family style and the loss of control and education of children from a micro perspective,timely promoting the basic moral requirements such as family style and education to become legal norms,and making up for the governance shortcomings in law.From a macro perspective,it further echoes the great proposition of the times that the rule of virtue and the rule of law complement each other.As the bottom line of morality,law maintains the guarantee of moral development.China s traditional culture has cohesion,but it also needs the rigidity of law to effectively promote the progress of social civilization.
