中国传统司法思维模式的文化分析

中国古代法官在审判过程中，为追求实质正义-无讼与和谐，往往会舍法而取情理，依情理进行审判。这种法律思维模式与西方的严格形式主义相对，被称为实质性思维模式，它是中国古代审判文化的一个特质。其产生的文化根源是中国人对和谐、无讼理想社会的追求及越过事物的形式追求实质内容的思维模式，以实质性思维处理案件亦可达至息讼止争的社会目的，但这种思维模式也造成了中国人法治观念的淡漠，同时阻碍了中国法治社会的建立。然而，无论如何它作为中国传统法律文化的一部分又是无法抛弃的，只能期待我们现代人对其进行创造性的转化。

The Cultural Analysis on Chinese Traditional Judicial Thinking Mode

In the course of judgment,the judges in antiquity of China always adopt the reasonableness instead of the law,they always judge a case according to the reasonableness in order to pursue the essential justice,harmony and no lawsuit.This mode of legal thinking is contrary to the strict formalism in western,it went by the name of the mode of substantive thinking.It is a particularity of the judgment culture in antiquity of China.Its cultural root is that Chinese pursue a society that will be harmony and no lawsuit,and pursue the substantive contents across the format of a matter.It can bring to a social aim of no lawsuit and harmony by dealing the case with it,but this mode of substantive thinking can cause a pale law intention in Chinese idea,and cumber to set up a society that be ruled by law in China.In any case,it can’t be cast away as it is a part of the traditional legal culture of China.We expect it is transformed in a creative way in modern times.
