儒、法两大学派的政治立场截然不同,治国理民之术大相径庭。然而两家的治国方略在西汉政治运作中占据重要地位。儒家学说对缓和阶级矛盾,维护社会的稳定作用积极;法家学说对维护皇权,整顿吏治作用更为突出。在两汉王朝的实践中,两种学说被统治阶级接纳,形成了传统的“恩威并用”的统治手段。 The political positions of the two schools of Confucianism and France are distinctly different, and the technique for governing the country is quite different. However, the two strategies of running the country occupied an important position in the political operation of Western Han Dynasty. Confucianism plays a positive role in alleviating the class contradictions and maintaining social stability. The legalist theory is more prominent in safeguarding imperial power and rectifying official administration. In the practice of the Han dynasty, the two doctrines were accepted by the ruling class and formed the traditional ruling means of “using both grace and force”.
