“潜规则”作为一种古老的历史现象,是吴思先生发现的;作为一个新鲜的历史学概念,是吴思先生发明的。吴思在检阅史志时敏感地观察到,在传统中国,支配着社会运转的并不完全是那些公开宣称的冠冕堂皇的道德法令,即所谓“正规则”,而是存在另一套不便明说的、隐匿在正式法规下面的规则系统,吴思称之为“潜规则”。那么,潜规则与正规则,这两套大相径庭而又共生并行的规则系统在运作过程中究竟构成了什么关系?对这个问题,吴思似乎只在部分文章中有所述及,而未见其作过深入的探讨,不免让读者生出兴犹未尽之憾。我想就此谈些感想,供与大家讨论。 The unspoken rules, discovered by Mr. Wu Si as an ancient historical phenomenon, was invented by Mr. Wu Si as a fresh concept of history. In his review of Shi Zhi, Wu Szai sensitively observed that in traditional China, the domination of the operation of society is not exactly those publicly proclaimed sound moral decrees, the so-called “positive rules,” but there is another set of inconveniences to say and hide Under the formal rules and regulations system, Wu Si called “unspoken rules.” So, unspoken rules and rules, these two sets of very different and symbiotic parallel system of rules in the course of the operation of what constitutes a relationship? On this issue, Wu Si seems to be only mentioned in some articles, but not seen For in-depth discussion, can not help but let readers give birth to still do not regret. I would like to comment on this for discussion with you.
