清王朝为了维持青海地区的社会和谐稳定,在政策、法律、制度等方面采取"因俗而治",这种方针也贯彻到司法过程中。在"因俗而治"司法原则下,司法不是目的,稳定社会才是司法的真谛。清王朝在青海地区的司法,不在于如何运用司法权,而是通过司法权来维持社会和谐,试图一视同仁,却忽略一视同"人"的问题,其成败得失值得深思。
"Custom and rule" is adopted in policy Jaw and system for social stability,and also in judicial process.With this principle,judiciary is not the aim but social stability.During Qing dynasty,the key was not to use judicial right but how to keep social stability through it,the administration tried to treat equally without discrimination but neglected the problem of treating everyone equally,the success and failure of it deserves serious consideration.
