In my opinion, run by "chapter Professor college motto" truly say from occupation to legal career pursuit, legal family feelings from faith to faith, righteousness, legal person from the school training to the school motto.   

   As professor Zhang Run said:"Without a hospital training school of law, or is the accumulation of traditional long, strong, everyone appreciate sb.'s thought, once entered, the natural infection, such as the family line inherited; or is not the root of the bottomless, said, as heartless, One's mind is somewhat unhinged., satisfied the occupation training, or, plus a "success" secret the have underhand secret dealings, decorate to the "excellence" what kind of floating speech bloom algae, indulge in self-delusion may have evolved to use unscrupulous divisive tactics."

Xu Zhangrun: the college motto -- a letter to law school freshmen

Time: September 3, 2012 Author: Xu Zhangrun (Professor of Tsinghua University law school) source: Finance


   Dear friends, you ask what is the law school "school motto"? Oh, seems to have not heard, or, has not been decided yet!

   You ask, it reminds me. But mind linger, unexpectedly, a slight abdominal case. Said to be abdominal case, a bit too, but I mind my yearning, dynamic. Even if the case of the abdomen, abdominal case, in the heart for several years, full, heavy. Just emerge in its totality, first, to explain to you, then.

                          A                           

   A: "abdominal case law as the industry". English roughly corresponds to LawAsVocation. Obviously, this sentence is originated from "political" -- Max Webb's classic masterpiece.

   Eleven years ago, in the mid autumn night, once on this topic for the new cloth, law school, later he falls, circulation market. Here to go over the matter of discussion before, to identify, "industry". At least, it contains the "occupation", "work" and "duty" three layers of meaning.

  First of all, the occupation, made it clear that the legal person but is in legal establishment, implementation and interpretation for the interests of the community, professor. Choose this occupation, so do the work, eat, "legal" and to earn a living. Therefore, the common ways of the world's daily operation, a secular types of social division of labor system, merely mediocre. Following the occupation standard, keep the occupation spirit, is its basic requirements, is also the highest position it will. Dawn and dusk time, morning bell and evening drum -- reminders, and a generation of spirit of human life; a few degrees of heritage, and this remains the same, but to see the old wounds, tears, news of the West wind!

  We know, the law is not only a system of rules, but a system of meaning. In addition to horizontal and vertical specification, there are human and moral twists and turns. They aggregate and legal meaning, the spirit of law, more than that, but as a start. Therefore, whenever the choice of a long-term occupation, experience, accumulate edification, then accepted and trusted by them, the law is not only the occupation, more and become more, one will have to, can be entrusted to the business of life. The "occupation standard" and "occupation spirit", in fact already contains a self occupation career law to high development potential.

  After this discipline, such as the rule of law, clear and predictable quality confirmation, such as fairness and justice, honesty, humanity due process belief, ideal and value commitment, then into this community of mind and spirit.

  Don't you see, it is in this community, everyone with the same educational background, abide by the same rules, follow the same industry norms and values, and uphold the common concept, the pursuit of common ideals, makes "the industry" is not only a means of livelihood, but also become more sustenance. Thus, "shelter" extend to the "life", occupation community body gradually attained their community spirit realm. Just a few fellow, and even become the bounden duty of meet the meaning of life. Vocation is "mission", is "call" to bleed, dedicated, not to hesitate to. The so-called legal way in the way of life, to show that the way of life, and then, after is the foundation for building the country, its meaning in this, its also on this.

  The corresponding occupation, pointing to the sense of the law, mostly secular law. As a person specification, from the legitimacy of legislation, the text table, for the program. Ideally, under normal circumstances, regardless of political legislation and civil legislation, they carry the life often, but is the people's daily courtesy processes and accumulate traditional followed, marking a way of life. At this time, if the moral emotion inverse theory, and evil law is law, it was sophistry, rather helpless.

  The cause of its career, contributes to a deeper thinking, distance, focus on the reasonable method of three-dimensional again and harmony, a righteousness intention. The world is boundless, righteousness is the day, righteousness is. As to the tap, realize the duty, then suddenly informed on the laws of nature, to appeal to the human conscience, direct to heaven and earth. Lawmakers great generation world Liyan, state is but a day round place ethical significance, meaning, island in the sky.

  Yes, the law more testimonies, outside are legal justice. All earthly law, shall abide testimonies, testimonies and evidence laws; human spirit, since when Bing Zhu reason, a book on the conscience. At this moment, evil law is illegal, not only in violation of due process, or to the interests of mediation in unjust, but also because it do things offensive to God and reason, simply disobey human righteousness, for our conscience is not allowed. The ability of human effort to raise hundreds of millions of years, refine and into the supreme virtue, is the world's first legislators.

  If the "how we can not rely on legal knowledge and distinguish between right and wrong, and then find justice" is a real problem, then, the route, the answer, is the direct appeal to our conscience. It indicates the way, is the enlightenment.

                             Two                      

  Case two: abdominal "faith and righteousness". The basic meaning, English FaithAndJustice, roughly corresponding. Implications of Wei Yi, is hard to explain.

  The case analysis, derived from this truism: law as the world justice, law to clarify responsibility. Male male, is to express non, judge success, then, righteousness. Especially through the punishment of evil, soothing fair warning, extremely easy to break the people.

  At the same time, sentient beings, everyone can aid method self, pursue righteousness, regardless of race, class and gender, the officials and people. In other words, the law is an open system is non physical, the multifarious, Fu Fu Zhao Min, with universal axiom on individual people, general specification should be carried out in the case of non.

  On the other hand, "not so, must have its reason", and the big end, is the analysis of gain and loss, what is righteous, how will the righteousness shine the light of the world. Thus, meaning nothing, reason is legal. Specification for the vast, fundamental pursuit not grandpa meaning; meaning is great, love into the physical world, seek righteousness. Justification through faith, impartially and public interest, human and is expected to become the world world harmony, so that gradually as a decent world. Zhu Xi said: "in the universe, just a physical. With this, will this world, if not this, then there is no this world." In this sense, is the theory of law, to the source to extremely, but faith and righteousness.

   Therefore, legal belief is not a false proposition, instead, it is based on real problem consciousness, expression is the most value concern real. Not other, it is civil society secular beliefs, secular world civil religion. There is a ring, from Providence and satisfactory, law may become their selfish act arbitrarily. Here, the earthly laws with faith on God, rather than to the long history of lead. From the history of law, acting normal, regular and routine from the life of the world, there is often marked. "The world has often" from "the nature has" divine order, is falling in time dimension in the world scene, is also a kind of ethical and legal vision, ultimately about political justice. On the other hand, the law should be to cut human nature, and history is the most important human dimension. Change humanity by man-made, such as the ancient Yin said, pseudo born from ritual, ritual born FaDu system.

  Therefore, as one might say, God is in history, in the ups and downs of Zhao is clear! Providence is satisfactory, in courtesy, the passions, show and the implementation of righteousness. Faith and righteousness, public and righteousness, is capable of moral, legal and.

  Then, in other words, the reason of the law according to historical reason as important connotation, continue and develop is the moral rationality, tells the story of a specific order of the world supply of "happiness" political virtue. The so-called happiness, more peaceful, but they must be in the tranquility and peace as the foundation, the law and the law because it is committed to providing a peaceful and skills.

  In this connection, "the past" and "future", is in the present and future blessing, blessing. The good legal system arrangement as the earthly world the most stable nature of the system, in order to "peaceful" for the device, just at the point, so the current that is the past and the future, past and future at the moment of the present world, blessing, blessing for the world. Earthly laws the wear off, and suddenly a transcendent value, can be entrusted to sentient beings. All people have faith and promote good will, costs have often, testimonies and towering, vengeance, national security.

  -- friends, you say, in addition to faith and righteousness, for the legal norms world, meaning world and all legal persons, and what more is worth treasuring and willing to abide no breach!

                             Three                     

  Case three: "Ming Yang Zheng belly, the world". As mentioned before, is intended to clarify the responsibility. The rationale, rational inner laws. They began the affair, almost physical sense, implication, making sense, condensed into legal, but surely between justice. Thus, logical reason, historical reason, moral reason and practice reason, for converging attack, constitute the basic character of law, is the basic character of law. Knowing this, along while, the spirit of her in the chest, contribute to the cultivation of personality. But my faithfulness, foster healthy I Hao Ran, we can comprehend the logic. The world, the king of the world but the male world, let righteousness filling of junior high school, this world, what a fair of china!

  All over the world for the public, is that it is a public space, the people of the world share of the public utilities. Nowadays, the Nations system is general the organization state, the nation state all the national history -- culture right meet form. All right, but actually are thousand shapes extremely, is manifested by the presence of the present history. Since the world play history, history is human nature, thus, nation state as a legal community, Wei was about identity, national identity, political power and cultural universalism abstract one unit arrangement. Life and the people, at the intersection, but in On your marks! May obtain the reasonable arrangement. Ideally, the law on the constitutional politics made according to implement political justice, kindness, honesty, tolerance, to pay attention to people's livelihood, emphasizes the equality, human and heaven Hede oriented, legal person is for the priests, Xianming duties of distributive justice.

  Nation state, one side of the water, the Republican City, has become a national homeland, a community of destiny, is all citizens to share political community. Nations, the nations to peacefully coexist, as the criterion, by international law shows international morality; the country regardless of their size, regardless of strength are national culture of peace, as always, so that entry to the world of the world, the world belongs to all the people. "We learned off Providence", then Providence is satisfactory, Providence here, Tianyi also here!

  Friend, this is my "abdominal" case. Hum about, where three case, seems plausible, as if the circuity, general spirit but a word "public". To turn around, but the word "public" in mind, that is capable of silent, but has its own conception, the original can't let people to also can not be arbitrarily slaughtered. Yes, this world, calendar thousands of years, was it the most difficult, and most people grief. How many heroes, numerous living beings, countless Nations country, often living in this word! The public, to the letter Li Shi, probiotic for justice, to this law has to die testimonies, all the people will joyfully succumb to snare under specification. The law for the industry, it is the human male, who is done in order to be fair, achieve righteousness, determines that the law is a public utility, a public space. This extension, the whole world as one community, justice, only for the world, the world was right!

                            Four                      

  Yes, the so-called "school" and "school motto," in the spirit realm to amass, Si, pour out the aspiration and ambition, high self standard Li, "a thousand node clove, and must treasure". As the National Anthem of the country, its when pouring the water and soil for the soul life of heroic, the condensation product distant civilization should be the traditional spirit of the Chinese nation and country based on the friendship, advocating when hundreds of millions of million people, about the good things of the vision of a better pursuit of decent people's universal feelings. After the condensation, Both together do best of all. Originally, desolate, only have the awl heart lines; searching, to spend Xie Chun gui. But now too lively, smart people all preemption, all only technology follow sb.'s lead, everything in the utilitarian is the hard truth, plus "meaning was tightly knit" hoop son, this let all over the world in the living brain, but the mind tired, it spread, not the respect.

  The three case, although do Shensi, Zhuang Jing self-sustaining, but may still be neither fish nor fowl, had to wait for you to fix! In recent years, as if you are pondering, are exhausted will "bring forth the new through the old", or even "surprise". Both for the fellow, then asked knowledge, although pure for their own thoughts, group living in character, such as light cover, over all, individuals actually no escape from the heaven and earth. The academic is common, in justice to the right path, you can settle down, and then, the so-called build up establishment. Naming is the bestowal of meaning, revealing the process is not only to describe, but, at the same time the expression of revealing the vision. So, besides the matter to private mental activity, also has the public relationship. No wonder they attentively poly Si, peer, the string curved, dance hospitality.

  Oh, yes, you mentioned the school motto, is, for "easy" language, the appointed point live, a model. In contrast, but that's all there is to know one's limitations, admit, we this generation person, the skill, the theory of self-cultivation, forever, never look back our early. Therefore, "any" behind, is actually a seemingly progress but declining civilization effort. Don't say anything else, just look at their university president today, will be the way officials do, and learn the gentle in the dust, you know the material prosperity world is not necessarily a spiritual poverty occasion. Otherwise, how to get high school from the cremation, from the street to the kindergarten, all only "diligent, rigorous, realistic, innovation" the cliche!

  Flexor calculation, self admission to law, apprenticeship, and be a teacher, just have one day left the campus. Jiyang silly boy, stumbling, along the way, and the temples feishuang.

  33 years, the campus when the home, to be a teacher, teach a lysine, late at night in, what to weigh to, or feel that justice is the most difficult. Moreover, it is not scientific to join the domain, Lai on the hearts of the people, depends on the system. Can the heart and system, are the crystallization of civilization history plays, slow work, tens of thousands of years of good fortune, Yuan Fei accomplish at one stroke, then worry is useless.

  Therefore, for several years, often as a student asked college training and language choke, we found that shelter the original "driven to distraction", or "heartless", or even "be as cruel as a wolf". Not surprisingly, time is short, the accumulation of shallow well, had to busy some external scaffolding thing. Have a big shelf, then accumulate virtue, inside Kung Fu, party is expected to gradually become gentle, even in the heyday of gentle environment! Have your letter asked, reminds me of a cavity thoughts, gives these words, for you see, I do not know whether the small Kou Da Ming, and the thought of it?

  Starting in September, you will come. In autumn, the heavy season, I couldn't think of what to meet with you. Because, journey without obstruction, bag full, a dream in the heart, plus the veins blood, I can for you to do what? This seems to be relieved, I feel upset, and in how to do, but also added a why. Why. Weigh every, the original is in, or if you ask what I am "college motto".

  Without a hospital training school of law, or is the accumulation of traditional long, strong, everyone appreciate sb.'s thought, once entered, the natural infection, such as the family line inherited; or is not the root of the bottomless, said, as heartless, One's mind is somewhat unhinged., satisfied the occupation training, or, plus a "success" secret the have underhand secret dealings, decorate to the "excellence" what kind of floating speech bloom algae, indulge in self-delusion may have evolved to use unscrupulous divisive tactics. Zikuaiyixia, even though is fame and fortune, Demons and monsters danced like mad., shelter evil people and countenance evil practices are also unknown.

  But, oh, this and the university spirit is how far! This and I wish to you, Law School of law school, the law school for citizens to surrender, and how thorn absurd! I believe, you and I will not sit back and watch, as taxpayers will not tolerate blood in vain!

  Thought of here, I no longer feel, no longer worried, but wide heart, face stability. Because, since we have been aware of before Kan, crossroads aspect, will not be timid, but only to Yu Xinyi, but is subject to the righteous. Because, that is practice school program and capable of raising the public world, but that since, as you can call such ideals and bloody students still come to, together for the freedom from fear, cold and hunger and injustices and unremitting self-improvement. Unless, the world student, all to good, all subject to potential. I know, you don't, you don't have, therefore, all this would not have happened.

  So, in addition to my own with police fear, what good upset and worried!

  At this point, can not help but sigh! This whole world, false public justice is injustice, transverse. Every day, a fellow artist at will; everywhere, no evil under the guise of the name of the law. Man and nature, is really a good and evil and creation, ever reliable! Moreover, the ideal and bloody, although be as solid as rocks, is fragile, is will decrease as the experience more and more, will be by negative day after day increases day loss. But despite their, we must take care of daily living numerous living beings, between heaven and earth in passing, can rely on what? Feeling so far, and I will also have the sense of loss!

  Fortunately, the continuous rain, today's opening day. Push window reception, a room full of clear and bright, and the outside world how wonderful. Hey, in this scene, also should show off literary skill? Stop here, waiting for you to come to school, some sent endless chatting time. After all, people are talking about the species, nature. By talking to be of help to cultivate humanity, humanity may gain,, also only through talking to keep humanity.

  Well, let's sing!
