Abstract

The objective value hierarchy system can be inferred from Morality follows the lost of Tao, kindness follows the lost of morality,justice follows the lost of kindness and courtesy follows the lost of justice to examine diversity value of Law fields. From Lao Tzu's perspective,when objective value conflicts with tool value,the former should be chosen and the latter abandoned,so thatthe real virtue of Tao can be reached and the superficial and false virtue can be abandoned. As per law,this value hierarchy should also be followed to return to the natural value of the Tao( that is,the Chinese natural law). And,in the context of Wu wei( Letting things take their own course),the man of highest‘moral'does not reveal himself as a possessor of ‘moral',and its objective value hierarchy system is not opposed to Moral and its all kinds of value,but not understood asgovernance with morality,otherwise it may be misunderstood as a compulsion doctrine of moral values.
