摘要
在制度和道德视角之外再通过文化视角来探究中国的权力腐败现象是相当有用的一种方法。相对于国家法规等正式规则而言被称为"潜规则"的中国人情传统,对于权力腐败的影响也是不可小视的,它生长于中国宗法族制的悠久历史和人情大国的深厚土壤;亲情重于理法是其基本价值定位;以情谋私是其主要功利目的;血缘、乡缘、学缘、业缘四个圈子是其畅行其道的基本依托;人情开道、旁门左道是其基本交往方式;由腐败走向制度失灵是其不可避免的结果。
Besides visual angles of political system and human nature, through that of traditional culture to understand Chinas corruption is also a helpful method. The imperfection of system and that of human nature are common causes, and the cultural defect out of Chinese way of human relationships, which is called 'informal rules' opposite to the governments formal regulations, is a specific factor leading to corruption. It becomes peoples practice without officials stimulation. It is long lasting although a bad habit. Nearly everyone knows how to do without being taught. It comes out of a long history of Chinas life style of family clan. It is the degree of fellowship and relatives rather than principles of regulations that becomes guides to peoples behavior. Its main purpose is to exchange private interests. It works well with the aids of relationships of kinship, schoolmates, and even town mates and lines of work. Its working means is to get personal goal through going 'back door'. Making power corrupted and formal regulations workless is its inevitable outcome.
