Abstract

Law can make the world stable, while morality can appease people. The rule of law and the rule of virtue are indispensable, just like two wheels of a car and two wings of bird. And the construction of rule of law needs the support and cooperation of morality. Without morality, the construction of rule of law may be alienated as a tool to oppress the people. The effective function of morality in supporting the rule of law mainly depends on the organic unity of internal virtue and external rules. By analyzing the dilemma of internal virtue and external rules in the process of moral construction, this paper further sums up the cross factors of internalization and externalization that influence the construction of moral system, and puts forward reasonable ways to construct moral system from the perspective of virtue and rule, so as to make full use of moral support for the rule of law.
