There are three important factors, such as the ideology, the economic system and political system, which manifest different characteristics along the historical track and influence the model selection on APL between the West and China. The most important factor is the ideology, i.e. the traditional legal culture embedded in the ethos of a nation, which does not change with the vicissitudes of time, the change of government, the change of political system. There is no doubt that the analysis of the traditional legal culture still influences the modern legal system.
