Why did China represent the beast as a symbol of law in the early days, while the west was a beauty? What kind of Chinese and western laws are reflected by comparison?

Different countries have different legal cultures. China often has unicorns, while the West often has a goddess of justice.

China's laughing stock.

Armageddon, also known as solution or solution, is as big as an ox and as small as a sheep, and looks like a unicorn. It has thick dark hair, bright eyes and a unicorn on its forehead. It is said that if the horn is broken, it will die. Some people have wings, but most people have no wings. Because there is only one horn, it is also commonly known as unicorn. It is said that he has high wisdom, understands human nature, can distinguish right from wrong, knows good and evil, and is loyal to traitors. Anyone who finds evil will touch it with his horn, or even kill the damned person with his horn, which makes the criminals shudder.

The relationship between pride and law can also be solved by the structure of the ancient word "law" The ancient word "Fa" is written as "Lu", and "Lu" is a combination of arrogance and "Lu" to make it fair.

According to legend, Hao Tao, the criminal officer of Yaodi, had a fight. Whenever it was difficult to decide, he was told that the verdict of the fight was accurate. In addition, it is also said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wen of Chu once got an enemy and put it on his head in the shape of an enemy, which became popular in Chu. With this crown, Han inherited the Qin system. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the statue of Hao Tao and the portrait of an ancient horse became indispensable decorations in the yamen, and the ancient horse crown was named the Faguan, so the law enforcer was also called the ancient horse, and this practice has continued. In the Qing Dynasty, censors, judges and other judicial supervision officials all wore sabre crowns and auxiliary clothes embroidered with the pattern of "sabre". Until modern times, it is still regarded as a symbol of law and justice.

Justitia, the western goddess of justice.

The main image of the Statue of Justice is a blindfolded woman in a white robe, with a balance in her left hand and a sword in her right. Blindfold, symbolizing personal tendency, free from external interference, without any discrimination or partiality; White robe symbolizes holiness, innocence and integrity; Holding the balance in the left hand symbolizes a fair trial and everyone is equal before the law; Holding a sword in the right hand symbolizes the strength and power to uphold justice and the determination not to tolerate it. In addition, it is said that the back of her statue is often engraved with the ancient Roman law enforcement oath: for the realization of justice, why not be afraid of falling to the ground (fiat justitia, ruat caelum, Latin). (Some scholars believe that the image of blindfolded justice first appeared in the Renaissance, blindfolded, symbolizing that "justice is purely rational" and does not rely on misleading sensory impressions. )

The image of the goddess of justice originated from themis, the goddess of justice and order in ancient Greek mythology. According to the chronology of the gods, she was the daughter of Uranus (Uranus stands for heaven) and Gaia (Gaia stands for the earth), and later became the second wife of Zeus, the main god of Olympus. The original meaning of her name is "the earth", but it is escaped as "creation", "stability" and "order", which is related to law. In early mythology, Simis was the god who explained the prophecy. It is said that she was in charge of the temple of Delphi and explained the Oracle, which was later given to Apollo. She is also responsible for maintaining the order of Mount Olympus and supervising the execution of the ceremony. In ancient Greek sculpture, her image is a serious goddess holding a balance. She and Zeus gave birth to three time series goddesses (Horae): Onomia (goddess of order in Onomia), Dyke (goddess of justice in Dyke) and Eris (goddess of peace in Irina), and shared her responsibilities. Among them, Dyke has the highest correlation with the law. It is said that the goddess of justice is in charge of the key to the door of day and night, monitoring human life in the soul cycle and presiding over justice. She often chased criminals with swords and assassinated blasphemers. Another goddess of justice often mentioned in ancient Greek mythology is the righteous god star, who presided over justice on the ground and rose to the sky as the main star of Virgo, pure and flawless. Her model is a pure girl. Later, the Romans accepted the Greek gods. In the Roman Empire, some concepts were personified and many gods were "created", including Justitia(Justitia goddess of justice.

The famous German jurist Rudolf von Rudolf Von Jhering once said: "The goddess of justice has a portable balance, which is used to measure the law; The other hand holds the sword and uses it to maintain the dharma. If the sword is not balanced, it is naked violence; A balance without a sword means weakness. The two complement each other. Only when the power of the god of justice and the skill of holding the balance go hand in hand can the perfect state of rule of law prevail. "

As can be seen from the above introduction, the unicorn and the goddess of justice are only different in cultural origin and external manifestations, and their essence is the spirit of pursuing judicial justice and maintaining justice.
