| 摘要: |
| 在中国古代的法律制度中，数字的首要功能是“内算”，可以在“道”的层面进行形而上的哲理阐释，将古人对天人和谐、阴阳平衡、秩序建构的追求和关切展现出来，从形而上的层面论证王朝政权和法律制度的正当性、合法性和权威性。阴阳五行化的数字具有显著的文化性和制度性特征，它们可以对罪名、犯罪行为、刑罚体系进行形式化处理，用以表示或象征某种制度体系，展现立法者或记载者的某种理想和观念。在“器”的层面，数字的“外算”功能及其可量化和整齐化的特征，可以实现统治者建立法律治理和科层统治的目的，其本身也呈现出政治教化和秩序建构的面貌。传统的数字观念渗透到民族文化的深层次结构中，影响着人们的认知和思维。梳理古代法律文化中的数字现象及其背后所蕴含的文化逻辑，对于理解当前的一些法律行为和现象具有一定的启示意义。 |

| Abstract: |
| In the ancient Chinese legal system， the primary function of the number was “internal calculation”（“内算”）， which could carry out metaphysical philosophical interpretation at the level of “Tao”（“道”）， showing the ancient peoples pursuit and concern about the harmony between man and nature， the balance of “yin” and “yang”， and the construction of order. From the metaphysical level， it demonstrates the legitimacy and authority of the regime and legal system of the dynasty. The figures have significant cultural and institutional characteristics， which could formally deal with crimes， criminal acts， and penal systems to represent or symbolize an institutional system and show some ideals of legislators or recorders. At the level of “Qi”（“器”）， the “external calculation” （“外算”） function of the number with quantifiable and tidy features， can achieve the purpose of the ruler to establish legal governance and bureaucratic rule. The traditional number conception penetrates into the deep structure of national culture and affects people's cognition and thinking. Therefore， studying the number phenomenon in ancient legal culture and the cultural logic behind it has certain enlightenment significance for understanding some current legal acts and phenomena. |
