Features: This book explores the concept of "harmonious unity," a shared primal thought of humanity, from the perspective of traditional culture. Observing and researching the harmonious thought of the pre-Qin period through the lens of law holds significant meaning. From the perspective of theoretical research, the study of building a harmonious society has become a major focus in contemporary Chinese academia. However, from the standpoint of socialist legal construction and the perspective of traditional Chinese civilization, there are few monographs dedicated to the harmonious thought of the pre-Qin period. A detailed examination of the origins and evolution of harmonious thought during the pre-Qin era will help us accurately grasp the essence of traditional culture and guide the construction of a harmonious society. The theme of this book is to study the harmonious thought of the pre-Qin period from a legal perspective. In terms of structure, it takes the harmonious thought as the main thread, analyzes various levels of law, and conducts multi-faceted analysis of the legal culture and harmonious thought of the pre-Qin period. While focusing on the legal thought history perspective and carefully sorting out the harmonious thought at the cultural source, the author primarily emphasizes the spiritual orientation and value connotations of harmonious thought in the legal culture of the pre-Qin period. Through an exploration of pre-Qin law and harmonious thought, the author attempts to uncover the excellent cultural connotations and contemporary value embedded within them, providing theoretical support for the current construction of a socialist harmonious society.
