In English the word Right(s) has the connotation of goodness and justice, which is originated from the old Roman Law concept, IUS. However, the Classical Chinese word for Right(s), Quanli, has nothing to do with such implications. Many Chinese jurists have attempted to coin a more proper Chinese term for Right(s), to replace Quanli, but their suggestions were all dismissed. The reason is that the exact meaning of the Chinese word, Quanli, is influenced by Fusion of Horizons, as well as interaction with the legal techniques and Zeitgeist. The Japanese borrowed Quanli from Classical Chinese, established it as the formal translation of Right(s), and endowed it with the current meaning in modern Chinese. Therefore, although the Classical Chinese term Quanli does not imply goodness and justice, the ideology of goodness and justice implied in Modern Chinese can be deduced from its evolution. |
