| Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China,our slogans has experienced 3stages when analyzed in the legal system:from 1949to1956, from1957to1977,from1978to1999, important slogans of specified periods show the legal concepts,consciousness and thoughts as well as the public ideas and cultural connotation of the Party and the country in historical times. It is remarkable that there have been hundreds of slogans since the foundation of the country, moreover, because of its concise, catchy peculiarities, slogans are widely used in its political activities. In special periods slogans played the role of strengthening cohesion force and the role of promoting its ideology. To review the evolution process of the slogans from legal perspectives, we will find that representative slogans of each stage are the products of history and culture. The evolution of slogans is always closely related to the then historical conditions. Therefore, the paper select the important development history of nearly 50 years after the founding of the country, in the hope of revealing the tortuous process of the construction of legal system in our country and analyzing the connotation in the change of times. Addition to the preface and conclusion, the body of this article are mainly divided into four sections:The first section generally discusses the definition and the theoretical basis of slogans,describing the influences they made not only as a kind of culture, also as a means of mobilization for 50 years in the process of social development.Since the establishment of the Chinese government, a large number of political slogans of the Communist Party of China have been put forward at different times, which not only effectively contributed to the formulating and promulgating of policies, but also promoted the construction of party organization and consolidated the development of the regime in mobilizing different social groups,as well as achieved the integration and transformation of society.The second of these three parts describes that for the new Chinese regime was faced with consolidation problem, cleaning residue bourgeois. Leaders of new China had first proposed‘repeal pseudo-legal system', the paper discusses the historical inevitability of the abolition of the "Six Codes" and its problems,equally summarizes the achievements they made in socialist transformation before 1957.During this period, the most clangorous slogan were "suppress counter-revolutionary", in the land reform movement: "rely on the poor, fightthe rich peasants, unity with the middle peasants" and in the "Three-anti and Five-anti Campaigns " against corruption, waste and bureaucracy " and " against bribery, tax evasion,against stealing state property, anti "Theft of national economic information". They all played a positive role in the process of governing the country.The third part presents since ‘take class struggle as the key link' slogan proposed,the class struggle had been regarded as the primary task of the whole country. Characteristics of political slogans,in this period,were that the party and state leaders were trying to highly integrated the Chinese Communist Party and the whole society into the same evaluation system. The highly unified evaluation system of the actions set off a powerful strength and influence, the voices of doubts in that period appeared annihilation. At this time,most of the slogans were extreme, absurd, strong tone, and anti-law. This section focuses on the anti-law slogans,such as "smash courts", "It is right to rebel", "sweep away all ox demons and snake gods." "continuing the revolution under dictatorship of the proletariat" to analyze the root cause of the legal nihilism and its impact on the construction of China's legal system.The fourth part discusses that at the end of the Cultural Revolution from 1978 to 1999,after the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.The government has brought things to order out of chaos, namely beginning to criticize the mistakes in the second period, they then restarted to learn from the western countries and to implement the market economy and the strategy of construction under‘rule of law' not just‘legal system'. Thus, China had stepped into the new era of socialism. With the rapid development and lots of regulations enacted,the slogan of "there must be laws to go by, the laws must be observed and strictly enforced, and lawbreakers must be prosecuted" was formally promoted. In 1997 "governing the country according to law." was put forward formally,and in 1999,this slogan was written into the Constitution,which means that our “rule of law ”has stepped into the right track.It was that the formation and propagation of important slogans reflected the process of the political leadership core of the CCP to form and presented the interaction between ruling thoughts and society culture politics economy and culture.In the political practice, there has been positive impacts and negative ones, By means of analyzing slogans in the perspective of the legal system in our past, present and even future, we can establish the correct interpretation of political slogans and avoid misleading or destructive slogans of the masses,which in return help us to construct the county under ‘the rule of law'.The threeparts :construction period of the socialist legal system, the retrograde period of socialist legal system construction,and the new voyage of socialist legal system in the new era, in these phases slogans not only has taken the role of propaganda policy, but also subtly contributed to the formation of the mainstream ideology. From the construction of a socialist country in the year of 1949 to the year of 1978 “modernization of the legal system” since the reform and opening up, finally "governing the country according to law." written into our Constitution.Due to the combination from the special social politics,economy,culture,China has experienced the "the rule by law " to the "the rule of law ", the construction of market economy under "the rule of law " enhanced people's independent consciousness, right consciousness, consciousness of freedom, and the consciousness of democracy.People's consciousness of the "rule of law " is also heightening in the constant changes, which also means that our people has transformed from blind receiver to the important character who may directly influence the decision-making in the construction of legal system, and become more actively in the participation of construction in the legal system. |
