法律作为社会上层建筑的重要组成部分，其产生、变更及运行都必定反映着深刻的、丰富的社会、历史、文化内容。社会主义革命胜利后的中国进入了前所未有的法律创制鼎盛时期，尤以改革开放政策实行以来，我国法制建设更是快速发展。然而中国社会近三十年的经济、政治、文化转型性发展过程中，法制体系日益庞杂，法制规范呈多样化态势。很多法治规则在实施过程中由于缺乏与实施对象、社会主体的融通而无法推行，形同空文；制度规范体系中，新旧法律规范、上下位法律规范之间，不同部门制定的规范之间在当前出现了大量不协调、不一致现象。 文章以我国目前所处的社会转型特殊时期为背景，提出了法律兼容性的概念。试图通过“兼容”这一内涵丰富的词汇，架构一个法律体系内部明确、协调、自洽，法律制度与社会法治环境和谐、融通的概念模型，以期提供一个新的法学研究视角。在这一基本思路指导下，首先界定了法律兼容性的基本范畴，指出法律兼容的内涵与外延，在此基础上分析中国转型时期研究法律兼容性的必要性，并以实例为佐证进一步讨论法律兼容性的研究意义。最后，将影响我国现阶段法律兼容性实现的因素定位于：现行法律对我国传统文化反映的缺失；法律规则的稳定性与社会生活快速变迁之间的矛盾；立法主体多元，加之地方、部门狭隘保护主义存在；改革过程中“违法合理”思想的惯性延续；有效的法律监督体制的缺失。法律的兼容性在中国的实现有待于上述问题的解决。

As the important component of social superstructure, the emergence, change, and motion of law must reflect the profound and abundant content of the society history and culture. China has entered the heyday of the law creation after the victory of the socialist revolution. The construction of law in china is developing rapidly, especially since the implementation of the reform and opening up policy. However during the process of the economic, political, and cultural transitional development in recent thirty years, the systems of law are more and more complicated, the regulations are more and more diverse. A lot of the statutes can not implemented because of a lack of the unity with the targets and social main parts, even the regulations perform practically no function at last. In the system of the standard laws, there are a lot of differences between the old and new laws, the superior and inferior laws and among the different regulations made by different departments. The paper will advance the concept of “the compatibility of law” in the background of the special period of social transition in China. The author attempts to establish a theory model in which the law system is definite and harmonious and law rules and social law environment are concerted by this word---“compatibility”. In the guide of this basic thinking, the author will define the basic category of “The compatibility of law” and point the connotation and extension of it .On this basis, the author will analyze the necessity of “The compatibility of law” during the transitional period in china and then inspect it by the living examples. Lastly, the factors which can affect “The compatibility of law” are: the deficiency of the for the representation of social culture; the contradiction between the stability of law and the rapid change of the social life; plural of the main body of the legislation and the existence of local protection; the accustomed extension of the “rationalization illegality” during the reform; lack of the effective supervisory system. All of the questions must be settled for the realization of “The compatibility of law” in China.
