In the West,"rule of law"means"rule of the majority"(democracy),and"rule of the people"means"rule of the minority."But there is no such meaning in our ancient concept of"rule by law".However,it is acknowledged that law is for the use of Tao,so those who govern the country are"Tao holders".Thus,only the"gentleman"who knows Tao and does in this way can undertake this sacred task.However,"gentlemen"are the minorities in our society.Therefore,"the rule of law"does not mean"the rule of the majority",but"the rule of the gentleman".How to evaluate this kind of"rule of law"?This paper aims to probe into some plain viewpoints on it,and compare that with the western concept of"rule of law".
