Abstract

China does not lack rules, but lack respect for rules, especially the spirit of law. In contrast, Jews, who value covenant or the spirit of contract to the utmost, can inspire the Chinese people to some extent. Jewish covenant is inherently and closely related to Jewish monotheism, in which there exists only one God, who not only made the world but also made rules for the world. But in China, the general public believes in polytheism, pantheism or atheism, and atheism is dominant in China, which means the formation of the spirit of contract is not an easy job. The cornerstone of the spirit of contract is belief. Therefore, we must focus on strengthening the cultivation of faith in the process of education in China in order to strengthen the spirit of rules, especially the spirit of law. Only in this way, the spirit of contract will take root in China, and the spirit of law will flourish in China.
