Overview of Local Non-litigation Content in China

Legal analysis: rural society is a society ruled by courtesy and obedience to rules. The ideal state is that everyone consciously recognizes and observes from the heart, internalizes it into conscience and habits, and does not need external supervision. Therefore, rural mediation is actually an enlightenment. In rural society, the most ideal means to maintain order is education rather than litigation. Contrary to modern society, the purpose of modern society is not to educate, but to determine and protect rights. In the process of rural society's transformation to modern society, the current judicial system has produced very special side effects in rural areas, destroying the original order of rule of etiquette, but failing to establish an effective order of rule of law. The establishment of the rule of law order also needs the change of social structure and ideology.
