Practice for 20 years, has been to the lawyers know half a word, after read the information inquiry, to have a more profound understanding, in the dawn of the new year, and we share the broad meaning of a word's lawyer:

"Lawyers" appeared very early. Emperor Wu of Han conquest of the western regions, Buddhism began to spread into China, began to all the Sanskrit scriptures. Chinese sutras emerged Han Emperor Huan, loan words, translation of Buddhist entered the Chinese system. "Law" is one of them, "can the pinch Jin Gang goods "cloud:" if can know the good Dharma, to explain, is a lawyer."

    When the "lawyer" no relationship with the law, is a free translation of Buddhism, is to know the law of monks. Buddhist Sutra (including Shakya Muni speech collection), law (Buddhist discipline and regulations together) on the Tibetan (Shakya Muni later described his theory, the idea of pooling), called "three tripitaka". Acquisition of Each one has his good points. Buddhist monks, higher level according to the specific circumstances of different names. "The teacher" is considered "Sutra" or good at reading scriptures monk, "teachers" to call master "on the Tibetan monks", "lawyer" is a "law" of the monks. Visible, "lawyer" originally entered the Chinese vocabulary system is a term for a monk, but also because of the existence of Buddhism, and is still in use.

"Lawyer" is a word to the development of the Tang Dynasty, extension, not only the Buddhist monks "lawyer" name, monk is also can be called "law", "Tang Liu Dian Cibu doctor "cloud:" the Taoist practice has three: one is the master, said parents teachers, the third is a lawyer." Until the Qing Dynasty, only to impart knowledge of law known as the "lawyer", and there is a link. However, it is not the modern legal sense of the "lawyer".

After the Opium War, changed dramatically China society, especially1898After years of Wu Xu reform, the central figure of reform and some enlightened the western democratic theory and the spread of western culture in, add plenty of philosophy, politics, economic terminology, Chinese vocabulary among them, have an old bottle was called "new translation of law", it is today the legal sense "the source of law". Lawyers from ancient Rome defender, they learned in the law, to defend clients, are not paid, this is the embryonic form of modern lawyer. With the establishment of the development of commodity economy and the capitalist system, law became a kind of occupation, and the lawyer system in the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese is the drafting of the "criminal and civil procedure law of Qing" was first mentioned in the "lawyers".

"Lawyer" is a word a word translation, English for"Lawyer", legal translation"Law"Why, when in translation"Lawyer"Translated into lawyers instead of" justice "and" master "?

Method, "Shuowen Jiezi": "punishment also, plain as water, from water; so don't touch straight to, from to." The law to justice, good and evil. In the late spring and Autumn period was formed in the early Warring States period, method is to reveal to the public code. Law, "Ya" is the essence of the interpretation of law, "Shuowen Jiezi" is named after the said law, section note "law, so van world not belong to one, therefore all cloth". Law specifies the punishment for the crime of criminal law. "The law" refers to specific provisions, "law" is more specific than "method". Buddhism in the "law" for the commandments, "in Buddhism Vinaya school" is in accordance with the law to practice religion. Therefore, the lawyer is to explain the "law" of the people, and not according to the "law" conviction, in accordance with the "law" ruled that non and conviction is "the judge". The main reason for this is probably a lawyer in modern Chinese, "" and "justice".

Law, law is synonymous in the legal sense, only difference lies in the time. The late spring and Autumn period, "widely used" word, such as Li Li as a "through", later Qin Shang Yang to "law" of the "law" was renamed the "law", such as the law of Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Wei Xinlv, Jin Tai Shi law, Liang Lv, Chen Lv, Northern Wei, Northern Zhou law, law of the Northern Qi law, Sui Kaihuang law, law of Tang, Ming, Qing law. Today, habits and renamed the "law" to "law", however, "method" and "spell", "master" refers to a meaning.

Because of the "law" meaning is more simple, "master" meaning, and habitual thinking people, Buddhism and Taoism, the Jieke called "master", prone to ambiguity, so in the translation "lawyers" homes "master" and "lawyer".

The above is the origin and evolution of modern "lawyer" is a word. The Chinese language itself is a relatively open system, in Chinese, some seemingly simple words everyday, it is behind the surging undercurrent, if not careful inquiry, may the wrong person, only the source shunt, clarifying, party to the truth.
