先秦儒家以周“礼”思想为源泉提出了“礼治”思想。“礼治”思想主要概括为“亲亲”“尊尊”“、礼不下庶人,刑不上大夫”、“孝忠”思想和“礼法互补,综合为治”等,其根本目的是维护封建宗法等级制度。我们应该正确评价先秦儒家法律思想中的“礼治”思想,取其精华,去其糟粕,以有利于我国社会主义法制建设。 Pre - Qin Confucianism proposed the idea of ​​“ritual governance” with the source of Zhou “ritual ” as the source. “Rule of Rites ” thought is mainly summarized as “kiss ” “respect ”, “the ceremony does not lower the common people, the penalty is not the doctor ”, “ For the rule ”and so on, its fundamental purpose is to maintain the feudal patriarchal hierarchy. We should correctly evaluate the idea of ​​“rites” in the legal thoughts of pre-Qin Confucianism, take its essence and go to its dregs, so as to be beneficial to the construction of China’s socialist legal system.
