厘清形式解释与实质解释的混乱战场

Clarify the Formal Interpretation and Substantial Interpretation in China

就比较意义而言,与大陆法系国家的形式解释与实质解释之争相去甚远,中国学者所主张的形式解释与实质解释都是在坚持罪刑法定原则的前提下,在语义射程内对刑法条文所做的解释,与犯罪构成体系无关;就解释方法而言,形式解释与实质解释本质上并无原则性冲突,很难发展出学派之争的实质和内涵。诚然,变动不居的现实要求对刑法条文进行实质解释以满足惩治犯罪的实践需求,但过度的司法实质解释必然会侵犯立法权与公民人权。因此在中国现有刑法解释体系下,实质解释只在立法解释层面具有法律依据和实践空间。

Formal interpretation and substantive interpretation as a school struggle originated from the civil law countries,rooted in special system and specific background. After entering China, ' South Orange North trifoliate',this debate grow out a lot of confusion. The author researched various academic point,then discovered that formal interpretation and substantive interpretation which hold by Chinese scholars has far to go with civil law countries,Chinese scholars have advocated formal interpretation and substantive interpretation are explanations adhere to the principle of legality within the range of semantic interpretation of the provisions of the Criminal Code made. Only regard to the form of interpretation,the interpretation had no principled difference between formal interpretation and substantive interpretation; Regard to value standpoint,before reconstruction of criminal constitution of Chinese criminal law,formal interpretation and substantive interpretation are also difficult to have the essence and meaning of school dispute. Indeed,the changeable reality often requires substantive interpretation to punish crimes,but I believe in that substantive interpretation has meaning of existence only on the level of legislative interpretation,while it lacks real space to settle down in the judicial interpretation.
