摘要
中国古代社会一直存在着重视自治与协商的传统,这种传统体现在以乡遂为代表的城乡基层民间自治组织及其制度上,这种组织及制度在古代社会发挥着非常重要的作用,有其历史的合理性。中国古代民间自治组织和制度的功能主要表现为自我保护、自我管理和协作互助,注重一切取之于民,又用之于民,人民在多数时段和多数情况下也能够甘心尽其义务,做到上下相安。今天,深入挖掘中国古代重视自治与协商之传统的做法和思想,是探求社会主义协商民主之根之源之生命力的必然要求,它关乎民族文化的历史真相,关乎国人性格、民族精神,也关乎我们探讨当代协商民主的历史文化渊源。
There were traditions of stressing the civil autonomy and consultation in the ancient China, which were reflected in the civil autonomous organizations and systems in the urban and rural areas such as the Xiang-Sui Systems, and which played the important roles in the ancient society, such as self-guarding, self-managing collaborating, and helping each other. Today, it is of great significance to deeply study the practices and theories of the traditions, which is relevant with the historical truth, the Chinese character and national spirit, and also with the historical-cultural origins of the modern deliberative democracy.
