证人拒证制度符合我国传统法律文化的内容要求：
我国证人拒绝作证权源于儒家学说的主张，称之为“亲亲得相首匿”原则。“亲亲相隐”的雏形最早可以上溯周礼。所谓“亲亲、尊尊”乃是中国宗法制度的萌芽。发展到春秋战国时期，天子权力萎缩，诸侯坐大，以致“礼崩乐坏”，以孔子为代表的儒家学说继承周礼传统，提倡“亲亲”原则。在《论语•子路》中，孔子对“父攘羊，子证之”的案例（直躬父窃羊案）给予的否定态度奠定了亲亲相隐原则的理论基础。孔子曰：“吾党之直者异于是。父为子隐，子为父隐，直在其中矣。《论语》中孔子的这句话也成为了中国亲亲相隐制度的基石。汉代初期的儒法之争中，儒家的代表人物董仲舒得到汉武帝的支持，“罢黜百家，独尊儒术”。因此，在汉武帝之后的司法实践中逐步采用了儒家思想，将儒家经典作为裁判案件的理论依据，史称“春秋决狱”。汉宣帝四年下诏正式确定了“亲亲相隐”的司法原则，这是“亲亲相隐”原则的正式入律。
