我国传统“不偏不倚,调和折中”的和合文化和古代“调处息讼,止争求和”的司法经验,共同催生了除正常的司法审判实践外,民间调解亦成为解决我国农村地区民事纠纷的重要手段。长期以来,乡土村落地方文化始终作为这一独特解纷手段的存在依据和权威基础。然伴随社会主义市场经济的发展新常态,中国社会正经历着前所未有的时代变迁,曾作为规范村民日常行为的地方民俗日渐衰亡,而现代法治思想正逐步向社会各个方面确立和延伸。本文指出,在司法改革日益增进的历史背景下,只有塑造我国农村民间调解的司法权威,促使其从传统地方民俗向现代法治文明的迈进,才能让民间调解在农村社会历史变革的洪流中承继和发展,成为中国司法制度不可分割的重要组成部分,从而在新的起点上奏响司法为民的最强音。 Our traditional tradition of “combining impartiality and compromise” and the ancient “judicial experience of mediating and settling disputes and seeking conciliation” jointly gave birth to the common solution of judicial adjudication in addition to normal judicial adjudication practice An Important Means of Civil Dispute in Rural Areas in China.
