Abstract

In a static sense, hidden rules can be defined as undetected or do not have the legitimacy of the rules, it also means do not follow the explicit rules or contrary to accepted, the concept ought to act or behavioral tendencies, and its social consequences caused by the coexistence of diverse rules and the separation of its name, there. The generation of the unspoken rules is a common phenomenon, but the prevalence of hidden rules is a special cultural phenomenon, and the nation's culture is closely related to the psychological habit and action. The deeper qualities of traditional culture of the Chinese people's actions shape the habit, so to act strictly in accordance with a meta-rule approach is difficult to become the norm in the order form. Although the depth of invasion of modernity that the rapid loss of legitimacy of the traditional rules, but still can not short change the psychological structure of the actions of national habit. Traditional and the modern system of rules habit uncoordinated and rub between the shock is caused by the prevalence of current major hidden rules of social and cultural psychological roots. The hidden rules as the undiscovered or illegitimate rules or behavior patterns bring about phenomena that various rules exist simultaneously and the discrepancy between name and the reality in Chinese society. The origination of the hidden rules derives from the cultural psychological structure of Chinese tradition which would never allow a strictly logical manner of actions. The tradition has been changing under the impact of modernity that the traditional habitus lost its legitimacy, but could not be replaced. Therefore, the conflicts between the tradition and modernity give rise to the cultural psychological background of the prevailing of hidden rules which should be systematically studied
