老子提出的“道”的概念对中国法文化产生了深厚的影响。道家对古代法的贡献在于其独特的法价值取向,其道法自然的本体论衍生出万物遵循自然法则的阴阳和合思想,在治国方法论上则表现为无为而治的怀柔政策,这就为中国古代法律多元化结构创造了发展空间,为各种民间法律资源的生存与适用提供了合理性解释。 The concept of “Tao” put forward by Lao Tzu has had a profound impact on Chinese legal culture. The Taoist contribution to the ancient law lies in its unique value orientation of law. Its ontology of Taoism and Nature derives the yin-yang harmony and unity thought that everything follows the laws of nature, while the methodology of governing the state manifests itself as a humane policy of governing by doing nothing, The diversified structure of ancient law has created a space for development and provided a reasonable explanation for the survival and application of various legal resources of the people.
