中国传统法价值观及其转化

Traditional Chinese Legal Values and Their Transformation

Legal instrumentalism has played a dominative part in traditional Chinese society, and such values have produced a lasting and far-reaching impact on traditional Chinese legal psychology, consciousness, notion and act. To cast off the influence of the theory upon social life, we must make a thorough change in legal instrumentalist values and foster a modern concept of government by law in the whole society, so as to build a modernized country under the rule of law.
