Abstract: The legalideology of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C—771 B.C) is systematically constructed focusing on the four aspects of “the mandate of heaven”,“kingship”,“people-orientation”,and “rules”.The authority,equality and transferability of the ideology of mandate of heaven makes it prominent.The ideology of the kingship is weakened by its agency,restriction,supervision and regionalism.By emphasizing diligent kingship and its concern about people's safety,wealth,health and stability,people-oriented ideology demonstrates the legitimacy of people's pursuit of happiness.The ideology of rule,as an important tool of social governance,shows the diversity and justice and the implementation.The four aspects constitute the legal ideology of the Western Zhou Dynasty,which contains the logic,rationality and justice of the legal spirit of the early period of our country,laying foundation for the development of Chinese traditional culture.
