Abstract

The prosecutorial organizations are the carriers for the procuratorial organs to exercise their functions and powers, whose settings are not only closely related to the historical traditions and legal systems, but also are adapted to the specific national conditions of each country and the actual needs of the time. At present in China, the external organizations of the people’s procuratorates are set up according to the administrative divisions and corresponding to the courts in accordance with the law as well as the necessity of the procuratorial work. There are four levels of procuratorates, which consists the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the provincial level,  the prefectur  level and the county level. Each procuratorate at different levles has its own functions and powers with the higher one directing the lower one in their procuratorial work and the SPP at the top of pyramid. As to the internal institutions, there are some necessary departments to be established in each procuratorate, such as the department of public prosecution and reviewing and approving the arrest, the department of investigating duty crimes of judicial personnel, the department of supervision on execution of punishmnet and the general office. Due to the various reforms in the procuratorial system in China,  the internal institutions of the procuratorates have been changed significantly in recent years in order to improve the efficency and quality of supervision in handling criminal, civil, administrative cases and the cases of litigation of public interest.

Before the reform of internal organization of the procuratorial organs in 2018, there was another special procuratorate which was called the railway transportation procuratorate. At present, the railway transportation procuratorates were dismissed and the procuratorial department of railway transportation of SPP was changed into the department of litigation for public interest. So, the original personnel of the railway transportation procuratorate were merged into other departments of the people’s procuratorate.

Guoqing Temple in Tiantai county is the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect of Buddhism; Ji Gong (1148–1209 AD), whose original name was known as Li Xiuyuan, a senior monk of the Southern Song Dynasty, was born in Yongning Village of Tiantai County. He was a famous monk with knowledge and good morals who was deeply loved by the common people in China by his various virtues such as helping the poor and exterminating violence, showing goodness and punishing evil. He understood the Chinese medicine well and cured a lot of difficult diseases for the people at that time, then left a unique and beautiful impression in the people's hearts. Hehe culture (和合文化) means harmony and cooperation, which was represented by other two monks Hanshan and Shide who lived in Tiantai county, too. From a philosophical perspective, it is an ideological system that deals with the relationship between different things with the idea  of harmony and thinking. From a cultural perspective, it is a cultural system with Chinese culture as its core and “Hehe Ersheng” as its symbol.

Zhang Jun, the Attorney-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, put forward such words when he did survey in the People’s Procuratorate of Yunnan province on May 8, 2018. He emphasized that, in accordance with the new requirements of the new era, we should take the case handling as the center, handling cases while exercising supervision and exercising supervision while handling cases, to comprehensively improve the political quality, business quality and the quality of prosecutor’s professional ethics, and to promote the innovative development of the procuratorial work in a new era. Then, he stressed it repeatedly on different occasions and it has gradually become the procuratorial aphorism and constantly developed the an idea to explore the new way of legal supervision.

Arhat is a Buddhist term, which refers to the monk who has broken all desires and relieved all worries, that is, the Buddhist monk who has reached nirvana. The analogy here is the prosecutor.

Wang (2019, p. 3). As a matter of fact, the number of people working in the procuratorial organs in China has reached a maximum of 280,000, and the number of people working in the supreme people's procuratorate and its directly affiliated institutions has grown from the “eighteen arhats” to nearly 1000. In the reform of the state supervision system, the personnel who worked in the departments of anti-corruption and prevention on duty crime of the procuratorial organs have been transferred to the Commissions of Supervision at all levels. Currently, there are 217,000 prosecutorial personnel nationwide.
