Since the emergence of human society, human beings have been exploring how the law came into being. From ancient Greece to post-modernism, many jurists put forward many authoritative theories, which are as follows:

(1) Law is based on the oldest and natural origin of all things.

(2) the law is given to mankind by the gods.

(3) Law is produced by mutual contract in human social life, work and other activities. Of the three theories, I personally prefer the third party.

The spirit of law:

The laws of feudal society were formulated by kings or ministers representing the interests of the landlord class; The laws of capitalist society are formulated by the parliament representing the interests of the bourgeoisie;

The laws of socialist society are formulated by the people's assembly representing the interests of the proletariat. The laws of China are formulated by the National People's Congress, which represents the interests of the broad masses of the people. This is the basic spirit of law, that is, the interest class it represents. Both revolution and reform revolve around this theme.

The rule of man in feudal society is also because the basic spirit of law does not lie in the people, but only maintains the ruling order of feudal landlords and makes up for its shortcomings. The gains and losses of ordinary people mainly depend on the kindness of the ruling class. Therefore, the rule of man and the rule of law in feudal society complement each other.

The laws of socialist countries are formulated by the people and protect their interests. This is the basic spirit of socialist social law. The basic spirit of law not only reflects the nature of the country, but also reflects social contradictions.
