Abstract
Before the discussion of rule of law, firstly, we should understand the concept of law, which has relatively clear definition in academic circles. In general, the law is a kind of norm or normative system which is formulated or approved by the state, and guaranteed and enforced by coercive force of the state, and manifested in the form of rights and obligations.1 Similarly, we should first understand what the rule of law is before we learn about some legal terms, such as the idea, the mentality, the consciousness and the spirit of rule of law. The East and the West have different understanding about the concept of rule of law. If we can clarify the historical origin of the rule of law and related concepts, it will help our theory construction on the rule of law.
