漢代因秦政治體制,雖先以道家清静無爲治世,後以儒家的經制治世,法家思想卻從來不曾斷絶過。從西漢第一儒者陸賈,到漢末思想家崔實,其間不論法家、道家、還是儒家、財經家,思想理論都無法排除對法家思想的承繼與推闡。這是法家治世功能與實用價值的具體顯現。 Due to the Qin political system in the Han Dynasty, although the rule of the Taoist government was quiet and unmanageable, the rule of Confucianism after the rule of Confucianism was never cut off. From Lu Jia, the first Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty, to Cui Shi, a thinker in the late Han Dynasty, no law, morality, or Confucianism, finance and economics, or ideological theory can ruled out the inheritance and deduction of the legalists’ thoughts. This is a concrete manifestation of the function and practical value of the rule by law.
