Professor Zhiping Liang presents a groundbreaking exploration of Chinese legal tradition in his highly influential book. Unlike traditional approaches to legal history research, this work seeks to illustrate ancient Chinese legal heritage through cultural interpretation. The author asserts that both the concept and practice of law hold significant cultural significance, as they reveal not only the societal norms and values of a particular time and place but also the mental world of a specific group of individuals. Consequently, just as cultures exhibit diverse characteristics, the laws embedded within different societies and cultures also possess distinct personalities and spirits.
Beginning his analysis with a thorough examination of relevant terms, the author proceeds to interpret history by examining the interplay and interconnectedness of words, ideas, and practices. Drawing upon the belief that human experiences can be condensed into concepts, categories, and classifications, the author delves into the study of history by analyzing the dynamic relationship between these elements. Through a conscious exploration of the differences between ancient and contemporary Chinese and Western concepts, the author aims to achieve a more realistic understanding of history while avoiding the ethnocentrism and modern-centrism prevalent in historical studies.
This book offers a fresh perspective on Chinese legal tradition, challenging prevailing notions and providing a deeper understanding of the rich cultural and historical context in which the law has evolved. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of legal systems and the diverse ways in which they shape societies.
