This book collects Professor Jinfan Zhang’s main papers on his research into the Chinese Legal System, promoting the localized study on the Chinese Legal System and providing valuable references for the field of the history of the legal system.
The book is composed of three parts: Overview of Researches on the Chinese Legal System during the Period of the Republic of China, Summary of Researches on the Chinese Legal System—Process of My Study on the Chinese Legal System since Reform and Opening-up, and Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation and Remolding of the Chinese Legal System. Professor Zhang not only deeply expounds the characteristics and values of the Chinese Legal System, but also objectively summarizes the historical origin of the termination of the Chinese Legal System.
