摘要：
从表面上看,传统"亲属容隐"的立法是完整的、自足的,形成了一种具体、有配套、可操作的制度,但是,将"亲属容隐"置于传统法体系及传统司法的实际过程中,其与他项制度之间的张力、具体适用中的脱节,即昭然可见.这包括:在亲属相犯的案件中,"亲属容隐"过分限制了受害方亲属的告诉权,客观上有放纵乃至鼓励了亲属相犯行为的发生,不利于传统礼法秩序之维续之可能;在连坐亲属的刑事案件中,"亲属容隐"与亲属连坐各自适用,容隐不能免除连坐之责,在司法实践中,亲属连坐的适用客观上削弱了"亲属容隐"对案件处理的实质意义;"容隐亲属相告如罪人自首"的法例理论上看似合天理而顾人情,具体适用时却造成告与不告的两难,以及文本与实践之间的脱节.在传统社会,"亲属容隐"的制度张力与适用困境并非个别与偶然,而是一种规律性现象,反映出传统法制度整体相容的同时彼此间深层次的矛盾与冲突.%Covering up each other between relatives in ancient china seemed to be a kind of complete, concrete,operant system, but from the whole ancient law system and actual justice of ancient china, there were clashes,inconformity,and disorder in covering up each other between relatives and its practice.Covering up each other between relatives restricted rights to sue of relatives who were hurt by their relatives,which en-couraged aggression between relatives,and went against ancient orders ruled by etiquette and law;the interlink assurance between relatives weakened legally effect of covering up each other between relatives in cases where relatives of criminals were involved,and destroyed traditional patriarchal ethics;it seemed reasonable and sen-sible to regard being reported by the relatives as confession, while in practice it caused the dilemma whether suing or not and isolation between text and practice..In ancient china,system clashes and application dilemma were not single and accidental,but frequent and regular,which reflected deep conflicts of orders and values.
