任德不任刑

重德政而不重刑罚。这是汉代董仲舒对德刑关系的看法。针对汉初因袭秦朝“刑治”所带来的弊政，董仲舒重申了儒家的德治理念，提出“任德不任刑”的法律主张。他认为君主应当实施德政，以教化作为治国的主要手段，而不应一味使用刑罚。随着儒家思想在汉代政治中的不断强化，“任德不任刑”直接促进了古代道德与政治的融合。

Morality-ruling over penalty-ruling is the view of Dong Zhongshu， a scholar of the HanDynasty， on the relationship between virtue and punishment. To deal with the drawbacksof “penalty-ruling” passed down from the Qin Dynasty to the earlier Han Dynasty， Dongreiterated the Confucian concept of “morality-ruling” and proposed “morality-ruling overpenalty-ruling.” He believed that emperors should adopt moral rule， with moralization asthe primary means of governance and that they should refrain from solely relying onpunishment. Since Confucianism played a pivotal role in politics in the Han Dynasty， theconcept sped up the integration of morality and politics in ancient China.
