It contains abundant traditional legal philosophy thoughts in WangFuZhi's God and human nature theory.The metaphysics source of the God lies in the rule of the gasification.The God defines all aspects of a person,such as born,essence, behavior, social activities,etc..The reality of the God stands in the ethics, morals and law.In order to realize the God in actual social activities,one must take himself as the God's purpose, so the God's purpose is converted into human's moral ideal,the law would be able to reach the God through the human nature.In fact ,what the God pursue is a true heart in social activity,It is God's way to obey what human feel,it is also the God's way to rule people or to draw up laws that obey the people's customs,habits and what they desire or fear.In this meaning, the God can be regarded as the essence of the Chinese traditional laws, and can also be looked as the toppest authority where the law come from. Despite the formation such as customary ,drawing up ,morals ,and ethics,all the law are derived from the God,they are realistic formation of the God. The category of the "God" is suit for the logic start in WangFuZhi's legal philosophy,First, it explained the essence of the chinese traditional law,Second it is the start point of the theory concerning the traditional law.In the theory of human nature,WangFuZhi put forward and discussed the viewpoints: the nature is given by God but acceptted by human.Human nature is acceptted every day,and human nature is good but feelings are bad.He took the human nature and the God as one thing,human nature attribute and social order are the realistic base for the theory of the God,what the human nature defines is the ultimate realistic source of the God and the social order. so the human nature is the inner of legal philosophy.According to the viewpoint of WangFuZhi,law is derived from the God,but the God depends on the feelings of human,so the law come from realistic feelings finally. The human nature is from the God ,as the human kind, the human nature is the God for themselves.Moreover,the law is realized human nature,or the realized God, it is also the reality of human essence. this is WangFuZhi's viewpoint of where the traditional law come from and what the essence of law is.
