The culture of the rule of law is a major topic, and theoretically the culture of the rule of law is generally divided into three aspects, namely, spiritual culture, institutional culture and material culture. Cultural scholars divide culture into explicit culture and implicit culture, institutional culture and material culture belong to explicit culture, and spiritual culture belongs to implicit culture. The spiritual culture of law expresses the intangible culture of legal psychology, consciousness, concepts and thoughts.

Although intangible culture cannot be seen or touched, it is infiltrated in people's words and deeds and permeates all aspects of society. Implicit culture is not only the basis for the emergence of explicit culture, but also the basis for the existence of explicit culture. Here, I will only talk about how to promote the construction of the spiritual culture of the rule of law under the guidance of the socialist concept of rule of law.

Because institutional culture is relative to spiritual culture and has the characteristics of being explicit and rigid, we generally attach more importance to the construction of the legal system and culture, and relatively ignore the construction of the spiritual culture of the rule of law. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, China has made great progress in the building of the rule of law, and a socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics has been initially established. However, the changes and development of the spiritual culture of the rule of law in our society cannot adapt to the development and changes of the legal system, that is to say, the institutional culture cannot be responded to and supported by the spiritual culture to a certain extent.

As Professor Liang Zhiping said, "Institutions are modern or close to modernization, while consciousness is traditional or closer to tradition." There is a disconnect between the construction of institutional culture and the construction of spiritual culture.

The basic spirit of the rule of law refers to the principle and concept of governing the country according to law on the basis of law. It is the basic principle of state governance in modern society, and it has important guiding significance and value. The following describes the basic spirit of the rule of law, including fairness and justice, equality before the law, legal safeguards and legal dignity.

Fairness and justice: One of the fundamental spirits of the rule of law is the pursuit of fairness and justice. Fairness and justice means that the law is applied equally to all people, regardless of whether they are high or low, strong or weak, and ensures that everyone can enjoy equal rights and receive fair treatment.

In a society governed by the rule of law, whether it is a personal act or an individual, it must follow the principle of fairness and justice, act in accordance with the law, and ensure that the rights and interests of the people are protected.

Equality before the law: The second basic spirit of the rule of law is equality before the law. Equality before the law means that everyone should be protected and regulated by the law, regardless of their social status, wealth status or other status.

The law is just and fair, and does not favor or discriminate against individuals because of their special status. The principle of equality before the law is the cornerstone of a society governed by the rule of law, guaranteeing the fundamental rights and dignity of every human being.

Legal safeguards: The third basic spirit of the rule of law is legal safeguards. Legal protection refers to the law as a norm and system that provides protection and shelter for people's lives.

In a society governed by the rule of law, the law stipulates people's rights and obligations, providing people with an orderly, stable and predictable social environment. Legal guarantees include not only the protection of individual rights, but also the safeguarding and promotion of public interests.

Dignity of the law: The fourth basic spirit of the rule of law is the dignity of the law. The dignity of the law means that the law, as an embodiment of authority and norms, should be respected and observed by the whole society.

The dignity of the law embodies the majesty and authority of the law, and is also the foundation for the stable and stable development of the rule of law. In a society governed by the rule of law, all actions must be carried out in accordance with the law, and must not violate the provisions of the law, otherwise they will be punished accordingly.

In conclusion, the basic spirit of the rule of law includes fairness and justice, equality before the law, legal guarantees and legal dignity. These basic spirits constitute the core values and principles of a society governed by the rule of law, and provide an important guarantee for social stability, justice, and development. In a society governed by the rule of law, the law is the basis of rule, all powers are subject to the constraints and constraints of the law, and citizens enjoy equal rights and obligations.

Only by adhering to the basic spirit of the rule of law can we build a just, harmonious and stable society.

1. Raising awareness of the rule of law is not an easy task, but requires hard work. Through learning legal knowledge, mastering legal methods, and participating in legal practice, students can gradually develop the habit of thinking, analyzing, and solving legal problems from the perspective of law in their daily life.

2. Learn legal knowledge. Learning and mastering basic legal knowledge is the prerequisite for cultivating a legal way of thinking.

3. Master legal methods. The legal method is the way for people to think, analyze and solve legal problems from a legal perspective. Participate in the practice of law.

A legal mindset is a way of thinking that is trained, cultivated, and applied in the practice of law. With the continuous advancement of the process of building a socialist country ruled by law, the scope of adjustment of social life by law will become more and more extensive, and people will inevitably face more and more legal affairs. This not only puts forward an urgent requirement for cultivating a legal way of thinking, but also provides good conditions for the cultivation of a legal way of thinking.
