讲座摘要:

许多人认为我国的儒家法律传统缺乏法治的因子,因此把我国现代的许多法治问题归因于儒家思想。然而事实并非如此,儒家法律思想中蕴含着许多法治的意识。此次讲座主要聚焦于三个不同的历史阶段:先秦时期、汉朝、以及汉唐之间的动荡时期。先秦时期我国古代的判例就已经萌芽了,在当时被称为判文。研读当时的判文可以向我们展示古代的官吏是如何运用法律来解决社会矛盾,以及如何将法律与具体的案件事实结合起来。在汉朝,《春秋》成为了法律的一项重要渊源,主要表现在董仲舒所作的判文中。春秋决狱是董仲舒提出的一种审判案件的推理方式,即运用《春秋》中的思想来作为判决案件的依据。董仲舒根据假定的事实作出了232个拟判,试图使法律的适用制度化。在汉唐之间的大动荡时期,刘颂向晋惠帝提交的有关审判的备忘录中所蕴含的的法治思想体现了他对传统的“情理法”审判方法的反驳。

The lecture is titled “Confucian Legal Tradition: China’s Discourse for the Rule of Law”. Many people view premodern Chinese Confucian legal tradition as lacking a rule of law system, which has led to blaming Confucianism for much of China’s modern and historical rule of law problems. However, this is not so. This lecture is going to focus on three different historical stages: Pre-Qin era, Han Dynasty, and Han-Tang transition. In Pre-Qin era, Chinese case law emerged, which is called as panwen. Panwen can show us how much ancient Chinese government officials actually valued legal reasoning, using the law to solve social problems, and careful application of law to facts of cases. In the Han Dynasty, a specific text, the Spring and Autumn Annals, became an important source of law from which legal rules were deduced, most notably reflected in the panwen of Dong Zhongshu. This fascinating and extremely important judicial practice of utilizing the Spring and Autumn Annals is known as the Chunqiu Jueyu. Dong authored a text of 232 panwen of hypothetical cases with fact patterns and judgments. It can be found that Dong was not trying to inject more subjectivity in judicial proceedings in order to give more flexibility and authority to judges or to the government. Rather, Dong was arguably trying to systematize application of law. In the period of the Han-Tang transition, Liu Song, who was an official served during the Western Jin Dynasty, wrote a famous memorial on adjudication to Emperor Hui. On a broader level, Liu’s theory on adjudication is arguably unique in that it runs counter to the so-called “qing, li, fa” (QLF) adjudicative theory and approach in traditional China.
