Frank said that the focus of the legal sciences was the opposite of that of the natural sciences; he did not observe individuality, but acquired commonalities that were superior to and independent of experience. Its goal is not innovation, but fixedness. Certainty, stability and rigor will be obtained through reason. Reason, on the other hand, is achieved through the hegemony of dry abstract concepts. For legal people, rational informing becomes a new absolutism.
The power of words is the most traditional force in our lives. It wasn't until yesterday that anthropology students began to acknowledge the existence of such inescapable traps that imprison most of our minds. The common concepts we are entherged to surround us, as natural and smooth as the air of our homeland, imposed on us, limiting our intellectual activity in countless ways— but more certainly and irresistibly, because he is inherent in the language we must use to express the simplest meaning, so that he is adopted and assimilated before we can think for ourselves. We almost even considered getting out of this linguistic structure. Tens of thousands of years have passed since we we were tail-tailed adults, but we still communicate in a way that satisfies the needs of an arboreal human. Because the sounds and symbols of language bear witness to their original origins, the connection between these sounds and symbols, as well as the habits of thought formed in the application of them and imposed by our ancestors, are thought to bear witness to an equally important continuity.
It can be seen from this that words have a "shaping" effect on social life.
The development of human society to the present, a thousand, two thousand years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago, can only rely on documentary records and archaeological discoveries, people now, either according to the content of the literature, "reconstruction" of the situation at that time, or according to the "traces of physical evidence" found at the archaeological site to "reconstruct" the situation at that time.
What is certain is that the real situation at that time was certainly different from the situation in which people "reconstructed" according to written records and "trace physical evidence" today.
Therefore, what happened at that time can only be determined on the basis of written records and "trace physical evidence".
In other words, it was the written record and the "trace evidence" that determined what history looked like at that time.
For example, is there any history in the Battle of Changping in the Qin State and the Zhao State?
When this happened, it all became a thing of the past.
The only thing that exists is the historical record, and history is the scene of people 'rebuilding' according to the historical document.
It is as if people read the verse "Bright Moonlight before the Bed" and "reconstruct" Li Bai's poems thinking of his relatives in his hometown.
This phenomenon can be called the decisive role of words in history.
Words have a "shaping" effect on today's life.
Today, the moon is bright and starry, I walked out of the door and looked up at the bright moon, and I remembered Su Shi's "Post-Chibi Fu": looking up at the bright moon, Gu and enjoying it, singing and answering each other.
I also remembered "Spring River Flower Moon Night": poor upstairs moon wandering, should be taken away from the makeup mirror table. The jade curtain could not be rolled up, and the anvil was whisked back. At this time, we do not hear each other, and I wish to shine month by month.
In this way, the moon in my eyes is instantly different.
Words have a "shaping" effect on future life.
For example, the newly formulated "Civil Code" has a "shaping" effect on people's daily lives.
On the one hand, people have to solve what kind of behavior this behavior belongs to in civil law in reality.
The two reached an agreement to buy ten tons of coal for 1,000 yuan each. This is called a contract.
On the other hand, classification, what is the difference between a contract and an agreement, and what is the difference between such a contract and another contract.
There is also a kind of "shaping" role: for example, the long-term goal of 2035 proposed in the party's resolution is to basically achieve modernization and build a modern power.
These expressions in the party's resolution have a "shaping" effect on the future of life.
Writing this, the author laments: words rule everything.
