Every nation has its own unique operating rules. The West focuses on the legal system, while our country advocates the combination of ritual and legal systems. Chinese people come with three levels of complexity, and the golden mean is a guide to finding balance in the system of removing complexity.

There is such a sentence in "The Analects": Confucius said: I am a human being who hears lawsuits, and I will definitely avoid lawsuits. Meaning: Confucius said, I try cases no differently than others, but my goal is to prevent litigation from happening again.

The West indeed places law at its core. The data that less than 4% of the population in the United States occupies 30% of the world’s legal resources speaks for itself. Our country advocates etiquette first.

There is such an interesting story in "Native China". An old man had two sons. The eldest son was conscientious and successful in his career. The younger son was lazy, sneaky, and liked to smoke. The younger son asked his eldest brother for money in order to smoke. He gave it to him once and twice, but nothing happened. So, The younger son had evil intentions and made his old father smoke cigarettes with him. In this way, the old father also became addicted to cigarettes, so he naturally asked the eldest son for money, and asked for the money to smoke cigarettes with the younger son.

The eldest son was so angry that he scolded his old father. The old father wanted to sue his eldest son to the county government office. The son did not mind that the family was poor, and children should not blame their parents. This is a traditional Chinese custom. But bad things never leave the countryside, so the old village chief settled the case in a place similar to an ancestral hall in the village.

The result is, first: the eldest son first apologizes to the old father and restores the old father's reputation;

Second: the old father promises in front of the villagers that he will not smoke again. Smoking, quit slowly;

Third: If the younger son commits another crime, he will never be allowed to enter the village.

Fourth: The eldest son hosted a banquet for everyone, thanking everyone for supervising and judging cases, and strengthening neighborhood relations and rural customs.
