2001年,江泽民在全国宣传部长会议上,明确提出了“把依法治国与以德治国紧密结合起来”的治国方略。在当代法治发展中,道德规范的作用越来越大,做到“德”与“法”的统一,才能使国家长治久安,使社会长远发展。回顾我国古代法律制度,西晋出现,北魏确定的存留养亲制度,将道德伦理融入到刑罚中去,发挥了长远的积极作用。本文对存留养亲制度进行探析,以便于寻求其中对当代法治发展的借鉴意义。 In 2001, at the national propaganda ministerial meeting, Jiang Zemin clearly proposed a strategy for running the country “to combine rule of law with rule of virtue.” In the development of contemporary law and order, the role of moral norms is more and more large, so that the unification of “Germany ” and “law ” can make the country endure long-term peace and make the society grow in the long run.

This article analyzes the system of surviving cuddly in order to seek the reference significance for the development of contemporary law.
