On China’s Civil Law Codification and the Development of China’s Civil Law Scholarship

Abstract

The development of the theoretical system of civil law scholarship and the codification of civil law are closely related and of promotional function to each other. The codification of civil law can promote the systematization of civil law scholarship, perfection of the value system, development and modernization of civil law studies, and the systematization of legal hermeneutics. The subjectivity of China’s civil law scholarship, i.e., the notions of problem-orientation, nativeness, practice, the times and innovations, can be improved during China’s civil law codification. The codification of civil law can promote the development of a theoretical system of civil law scholarship with Chinese characteristics, including the development of diversified elements such as values, content, system, hermeneutics and methods of civil law
