摘要
循吏作为传统儒法国家的地方官员优秀代表,以奉法循理为基本特征,儒法思想是循吏的精神内核。循吏的社会治理风范主要体现为:富民安民,造福一方;教化重道,移风易俗;哀矜宽宥,以礼决狱;清廉自律,不夺民利。循吏为社会的繁荣稳定做出了贡献,因此得到了百姓的爱戴。传统社会中的循吏受到政治环境的影响,当政治清明时循吏出现得比较多,当政治腐败时循吏出现得比较少。循吏的治理风范对于现代化社会治理来说,依然具有借鉴价值。在今天的社会治理过程中,应该在发展中保障和改善民生;应该坚定文化自信,推进思政教育;应该把法治规则与德治规范相结合;应该建立一个廉洁的干部队伍。在社会治理中既要坚持依法治国的工具理性,也要坚持以全心全意为人民服务为宗旨的价值理性,并且工具理性永远服务于价值理性。传统中国是皇权专制社会,社会治理以皇帝和官僚集团的“统治”为主要特征,现代化的中国是民主社会,社会治理以人民广泛参与和监督的“治理”为主要特征,社会的民主促进了政府的廉洁高效与社会的长治久安。
As exemplary local oficials in traditional Confucian-Legalist states,virtuous officials were characterized by their adherence to laws and principles,with Confucian and legalist thoughts forming their ideological core.Their social governance approach was primarily manifested in:enriching and stabilizing the populace,benefiting their regions;emphasizing moral education and transforming social customs;exercising compassion and leniency,adjudicating cases through ritual principles;maintaining integrity and self-discipline,and refraining from exploiting the people.Virtuous officials contributed to social prosperity and stability,thereby earning the admiration of the common people.In traditional society,the emergence of virtuous officials depended on the political environment—more appeared during periods of clean governance,while fewer emerged during times of political corruption.The governance style of virtuous officials remains relevant for modern social governance.Today,social governance efforts should be made to safeguard and improve people's livelihoods through development;to uphold cultural confidence and promote ideological and political education;to integrate legal rules with ethical norms;and to establish a clean corps of cadres.Social governance must adhere to the instrumental rationality of rule by law,and also should uphold the value rationality of serving the people wholeheartedly,with instrumental rationality always serving value rationality.Traditional China was an imperial autocratic society where social governance was characterized by the"rule"of the emperor and the bureaucratic group.In contrast,modern China is a demo-cratic society where social governance is characterized by the"governance"of broad public par-ticipation and supervision.Social democracy promotes clean and efficient government as well as long-term social stability and harmony.
