1949年以前,现代人民调解制度已经在革命根据地和解放区政权中萌芽和发展,并形成了一系列富有特色的制度,有效化解了民间纠纷。从历史的视角考察,目前推行的一些制度改革并非无源之水,而是1949年前人民调解传统的延续,将来的制度完善应当从本土历史资源中发掘更多的养料。 Before 1949, the modern people’s mediation system had sprouted and developed in the revolutionary base areas and the regime in the liberated areas and formed a series of distinctive systems to effectively resolve civil disputes. From a historical perspective, some current system reforms are not passive sources of water. They are a continuation of the tradition of people’s mediation prior to 1949. Future system improvement should find more nutrients from local historical resources.
