Characteristics of China's Traditional Legal Thought

1. Family-oriented patriarchal ethics permeates everything.

1) Family-based patriarchal ethics has become one of the sources of value that dominate China people's spiritual activities. China was a patriarchal society in ancient times, and the Western Zhou Dynasty in slave society emphasized "kissing". In feudal society, rulers from the Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty advocated "ruling the world with filial piety", which shows that the prevalence of patriarchal ethics does not change with the different social nature.

2) Formulated various legal principles to safeguard and embody patriarchal ethics. The rulers and thinkers in ancient China raised patriarchal ethics to legal norms, which fully demonstrated the necessity from the legal point of view.

2. Imperial power is supreme

The imperial power is supreme, the law comes from the monarch, and the monarch has the highest legislative power and judicial power, which has become a basic principle of feudal orthodox legal thought.

3. The concept of equality is lacking, and the idea of hierarchical privilege is strong.

China was dominated by Confucianism in ancient times, which mainly originated from "rule by courtesy" and was characterized by different levels of honor and inferiority, making the idea of hierarchical privilege run through ancient Chinese legal thoughts.

4. Pay more attention to morality than punishment

Throughout China's feudal society of more than 2,000 years, both rulers and thinkers regard morality as the basic creed of governing the world and punishment as an auxiliary means of governing the world.

5. Value righteousness over profit

In the Song Dynasty, Zhu's thought of valuing righteousness over profit developed to the extreme, which seriously hindered the development of legal thought. Law is a knowledge about rights, and the concept of valuing righteousness over profit suppresses people's concept of rights.
