我国古代“亲亲相隐”制度对中国传统法律文化的影响体现在对亲情的正视和宽容、把家庭“法人化”的倾向和国家利益向亲情权利的妥协。以上关于“亲亲相隐”对中国古代法律儒家化的影响，法律文化研究者已有定论，但微观上尚缺少文本相关性的实例研究。所以本文所做的创新工作，是根据系统语言学的语场、语旨与语式，讨论“春秋决狱”的判例与儒家“亲亲相隐”的互文体现关系及其逻辑例证，从而为法律儒家化的命题提供更多的材料支撑。

Abstract

This Paper studies the popularity and strong vitality of the “Relative Concealment” in ancient China. From systemic functional linguistic perspective, this paper analyzes sections and chapters from Confucian classics that embodied the philosophy of “concealment of offenses by close relatives” (hereinafter referred to as “Relative Concealment”), in combination with criminal case adjudication in light of the Spring and Autumn Annals, so as to do some case studies. Though contrast, association, and summary, it clarifies the law value of the principle, and probes into its profound influence on ancient Chinese legal culture. 

The “Relative Concealment” regulation has three aspects of effects in the ancient traditional legal culture，such as the social justice and moral tolerance towards family affection, family as a conceptual legal subject, and law as elusive in face of kinship. All above legal culture researchers has done a lot about the above statements. The innovation of this paper is, based on the systematic linguistic view of field, tenor, and mode, to find intertextual link and logical illustration between criminal case adjudication in light of the Spring and Autumn Annals and “Relative Concealment”, thus it can provide more materials to support the Confucianization of law.
