The concept of “rights” has gradually emerged as the subject of a particular academic field of study—a complex one involving three aspects: conceptual approaches, theoretical orientation, and practical development. Studying Chinese “rights” should affect the fundamental interrelation of all forms of Chinese human values and social behavior. This study aims to generalize the impact of specific naïve, vague, implied, and spontaneous actions on Chinese rights, as well as their effects on social change and human development. The study’s central theme is that questions and analytical modes of “rights” in Chinese human development are rapidly being challenged as a fundamental framework for philosophical criticism. New research from more investigators with interdisciplinary backgrounds suggests five standard forms of academic tasks for the Chinese “rights” researchers to have more (1) case studies within the Chinese historical process; (2) comparative studies between Western and Chinese cultural systems; (3) theoretical modes or assumptions built up from sufficient data from Chinese historical documents and literature; (4) interdisciplinary studies involved in various fields; and (5) existing frameworks for evaluating Chinese political and legal thought more critically.
