中国古代的律文解释与近代的刑法法条解释之比较——以《唐律疏议》与《中华民国新刑法判解汇编》为例

以《唐律疏议》与《中华民国新刑法判解汇编》为例,对中国古代的律文解释与近代刑法法条解释的比较以后可以发现,它们有相似之处,具体表现为:刑法原则、罪名和刑罚等的解释十分相似。同时,在解释主体、解释结构和解释效力等方面存在相异之处。这些相似、相异之处还有自己形成的原因。形成相似之处的原因主要有两个,即相似的解释宗旨、解释技术。形成相异之处的原因也主要有两个,即相异的历史时期、相异的法制。经过这一比较还可以得出这样的结论:它们的这种解释都源于中国古代的经学。从中亦可见,中国古代经学影响之深远。

The Comparative Study on the Textual Explanation of Ancient China Law and Modern China Criminal Provisions:the Comparison between the Review of Tang Code and The Compilation of New Criminal Law Explanation of The Republic of China

Taking the Review of Tang Code and The Compilation of New Criminal Law Explanation of The Republic of China as an example,after comparing the textual explanation of ancient China law and the explanation of modern China criminal law,some similarities can be summarized as the follows: the explanation of the principle of criminal law,the name of the crime and the penalty resemble a lot. While the subject of explanation,the explanation structure and the effectiveness of the explanation differ a lot. Both the similarities and differences have their own reasons. The reason for similarities is the explanation principle and techniques,while the reason for differences is the different historical period and legal systems. From the comparison,we can see that both explanations derive from the study of ancient China Classics,which has profound influence in Chinese history.
