  Reading Notes on “The Law Must Be Respected Equally by the Son of Heaven and All the People” This concept underscores a core tenet: laws bind all, from rulers to commoners. Rooted in ancient Chinese legal thought, it evolves Legalists’ “法不阿贵 (the law does not favor the noble)”, challenging power arbitrariness. Key elements hold enduring value. Equality in abiding by laws, regardless of status, mirrors modern “no one is above the law” principle—vital for a just legal system. Restricting rulers from altering laws arbitrarily checks absolute power, ensuring legal predictability and protecting people’s interests. In modern governance, it aligns with the rule of law. It reminds us that legal systems must be impartial, and those in power must submit to legal bounds. This ancient wisdom still guides efforts to build fair, stable societies, showing how historical ideas illuminate contemporary quests for justice and order.
