论中国古代法制史的伦理特色

Discussion on the Ethical Characteristic of Chinese Ancient Legality History

中华法系作为世界五大法系的重要一支,其区别于世界其他法系的重要特征即中国古代法制的演化进程是以家族本位和义务本位为核心的道德伦理法律化过程。中华法系在当今世界法律体系中虽然已经消亡,但数千年里延续积累下来的中国古代封建法的这些伦理特征,在社会主义社会中仍然或多或少有所反映。在我国当前社会主义法制建设中,应当站在历史的高度,取其精华,弃其糟粕,克服这种不利的倾向,从而更好地推进依法治国的进程。

As one of the most important legal systems in the world, Chinese legal system differs from other four legal systems because of its ethical characteristic In fact, the course of the development of Chinese ancient legal system is the course of the codification of ethic whose core is the standard of clan and obligation. In modern times, although Chinese legal system has extinguished, the ethical characteristic also reflects the Chinese society more or less. In the legal construction of China, government should abstract the advantages of this characteristic and abandon the disadvantages to accelerate the development of Chinese nomocracy.
