three. When it comes to gavels, at first glance it seems that they are a product of Western legal culture, but they are not. In ancient times, our country had its own "gavel" - the gavel. Jingtang wood was once a must-have item for officials ranging from first-rank officials to seventh-rank county officials in ancient times. However, in the courts after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the hands of judges suddenly became empty. In the process of judicial reform, giving judges a gavel has been put on the agenda of reformers. According to the investigation, the first case in which the gavel was used in court in my country was a bribery case heard in Xiamen Siming District Court on September 14, 2001. Judge Chen Guomeng, who was the presiding judge at the time, struck the first gavel of the trial in mainland China. Within four months, the use of the gavel was promoted from Xiamen to the whole country. On January 8, 2002, the Supreme People's Court officially issued a document and decided to uniformly use the gavel in courts across the country from June 1, 2002. In Western courts, there has always been a tradition of using gavels to maintain order in court proceedings. Western judges generally believe that the gavel is a prop used by judges during court sessions. It symbolizes the king's scepter, represents judicial authority, and maintains the order of the court. Suggestions and Conclusions Through this social survey, I investigated and studied the court settings, court layout, robes, hammers, etc., as well as the legal culture reflected in the court layout and details in China and the West. Comparing the differences, I found some differences between Chinese and Western courts, tribunals, judges, etc., and I came to the conclusion that the layout and details of Chinese and Western courts clearly reflect their influence in their respective legal cultural circles. Characteristics, the development process of legal culture and court culture of both parties is based on the legal tradition within this cultural system, and is developed by incorporating the experience of other different legal cultures. The difference is that Western court culture has a deep foundation. Therefore, in its development process, the part that inherits tradition is greater than the part that absorbs foreign elements. As for China's court culture, due to historical reasons and the special situation that our country is now in a period of judicial reform, the part that absorbs foreign elements is greater than the part that inherits tradition. At the same time, Western court culture and even legal culture have a long and solid cultural foundation. However, as China's court culture is in the reform period, it lacks the nourishment of a deep legal cultural foundation like the West. Secondly, compared with the people-centrism reflected in the trial of cases in Western courts, Chinese courts still cannot help but show residual officialism in the trial of cases at the current stage, especially in cases of national public prosecution. And I think this is the crux of the problem that legal thought in China still cannot be widely disseminated and cannot penetrate into the hearts of every citizen. Through this investigation and comparative analysis, I feel that the way out for the construction of our country's legal system lies in declaring the fairness and authority of the law to citizens, making the concepts of legal fairness and justice deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, abandoning the "official position", and through continuous judicial reform , and implement the people-oriented principle of the law to the end.
