在《荀子》中，礼法不仅走向了高度的融合，而且获得了崭新的内涵。荀子吸收了法家狭义上的“法”，即“刑”，这是礼法融合的第一重内涵；礼法融合的第二重内涵是礼的“法”化，即礼的外在化、规范化、客观化；更为重要的第三重涵义是，“礼法”被赋予儒家意义上的道德修养的内涵。通过对法家之“法”的道德化改造，荀子不仅克服了儒家之礼与法家之法的对立，而且也推动了“道德儒学”向“政治儒学”的过渡与转换。

In Xunzi, the creative interpretation of etiquette and law makes the integration of the two reach a high degree and thus gains a new meaning. Xunzi absorbs the Legalist ＂law＂ in its narrow sense, which means punish- ment and this is the first connotation of the integration. The second connotation is the legalization of etiquette, in other words, the externalization, standardization and objectification of the etiquette. What＇s more important, ＂eti- quette and law＂ is given the meaning of morality in light of Confucianism. By moral transformation of Legalist ＂law＂, Xunzi has successfully overcome the opposition between the Confucian＇s etiquette and Legalist law, promoted the transition and transformation from ＂moral Confucianism＂ to ＂political Confucianism＂.
