民法典视角下的继承原则重构——兼评杨立新、杨震《〈中华人民共和国继承法〉修正草案建议稿》

囿于继承法同时具有身份法与财产法、任意法与强行法等多种不同维度的法学属性,客观上决定了以调整财产关系为主的民法基本原则并不能够完全适用于继承法。鉴于继承法未来将纳入我国民法典体系的需要,这种制度内在价值的冲突要求继承法具备独立的继承原则以起到制度衔接协调功能与规则解释补充功能。在对我国现行《继承法》修订时,有必要以成文法形式列举"保护私有财产继承权"、"继承权男女平等"、"养老育幼与照顾病残"、"互谅互让与和睦团结"以及"权利义务一致"五项继承原则,而这五项原则也是指引《继承法》补充完善以及制度创新的立法依据与价值追求。

Reconstruction of Inheritance Principles from the Perspective of the Civil Code---Review of Theories Proposed by Professors Yang Li-xin and Yang Zhen on the Revised Draft Recommendation for the Inheritance Law of PRC

The Inheritance law has multidimensional legal characters, such as combination of status lawand property law and concurrence of default rules and mandatory rules, so that the basic principles of civil lawmainly adjusting property relations cannot be applied to the inheritance law completely. However, since the in-heritance law is proposed to be one part of civil code of china in the future, the internal value conflict requiresthat the inheritance law should develop its own principles to perform functions of system coordination and rulesinterpretation. Therefore, in revising the Inheritance Law of China, it is suggested to formulate five principlesof inheritance in statutory forms such as, ＂protection of inheritance right to private property＂, ＂equal inherit-ance right between female and male＂, ＂indispensable legal inherited share for the old -aged, children, sickand physical disabled＂, ＂mutual understanding and harmonious accommodation＂, and ＂coherence of enjoyingrights and performing duties＂. These five principles are also the legislative basis and value pursuit for improve-ment and innovation of the Inheritance Law.
