Traditions of Thinking Mode and the Path Choice of Mode of Rule of Law in Contemporary China
Cultural confidence comes from the subjectivity of culture.Thinking mode is an important part of a nation's culture and has strong stability.The tradition of thinking mode determines or influences the choice of the mode of rule of law and the direction of the road of rule of law in one country.The core feature of Chinese traditional thinking is"union",while the core feature of Western traditional thinking is"division".The West-ern thinking tradition has resulted in its tightly closed legal system and judicial application,while the Chi-nese thinking tradition has nurtured its open,practical legal structure and judicial application.In the present world,Chinese and western modes of thinking have begun to integrate,and western jurisprudence has reflec-ted on the scientific legal system and judicial model.At present,China needs to transform its mode of think-ing from tradition to modernity,which should not be a simple replacement of Chinese original mode of think-ing by western counterpart,but rather a sublimation after the integration of both modes of thinking.
