[ : ] L ega l Proverb: the Popular Form of Rea son ing and Exper ience in Ch inese L ega l L ife: Ana lysis of L ega l Culture in Ch inese Proverb HUO Cun2fu (L aw School, J ilin U niversity, Changchun 130012, China) Abstract: Legal p roverbs, a form of folk language related to law, p roduced and commonly used by folk, falls within folk culture category. A s judged by the way in which culture or mentality has been inherited, legal p roverbs are more p rofound or intensive compared w ith those two2part allegorical sayings and idio2 matic exp ressions that fall inside the lim its of same kind of folk adage as legal p roverbs do, and they ap2 pear to be more meticulous compared w ith those idiom s that belong to elegant language. The basis, of which popular form s that legal p roverbs show, lies in the needs as to summarizing and passing on truth and experiences of daily legal life. The legal life, which is reflected by legal p roverbs, ranges broadly from main areas of social legal life to main legal phenom ena. Legal p roverbs have close relationship w ith law, since both of them originate in legal regulations and p rincip les as well as essence of law. They also have close relationship w ith regular p roverbs. On one hand, regular p roverbs affect legal p roverbs by means of supporting and reinforcing or enhancing legal p roverbs. On the other hand, legal p roverbs are transformed into peripheral p roverbs sometime so that they may go a step further in exp ressing a kind of truth or experiences in daily life. In short, it is significant to research on legal p roverbs from interdiscip li2 nary view of jurisp rudence, linguistics, cultural science, and historiography.
