In A Comparison of Chinese and Western Conceptions of Human Rights, the legal scholar Chang Yi-ting holds that Chinese society uses the power of ethics and morality to create a harmonious society. This is an exalted ideal of Confucianism and is also a major reason why there is no record of Chinese in ancient times fighting for unman rights.
在《中外人權思想之比較》一書中，法學博士張彞鼎認為，以倫理道德的格化力量，產生祥和社會，使人權爭端防範於未然，這是儒家的崇高理想，也是中國古代沒有記載人權爭端的主要原因。
