Historical Materials on Modern Chinese Legal System (ten Volumes)
by Liu Naizhong Editor-in-chief Cui Xuesen
About This Novel
This book is a collection of historical materials reflecting the transformation process of China's modern legal system. There are both Chinese writings on China's legal system and Japanese writings on China's legal system. From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, Chinese writings on the legal system had various connections with Japan. The authors either studied in Japan or were influenced by Japanese jurisprudence in writing. For example, Wang Hongnian's "Essentials of Constitutional Law" was compiled into this book by Wang, a student of Japanese jurists. Another example is Bao Tingliang's "On the Constitution of the Qing Dynasty", which used Japanese constitutional studies as the object of reference and criticism, and constructed his own constitutional theory on this basis. Japanese treatises on China's legal system, such as "On the Constitution of the Qing Dynasty" written by Kita Onisaburo, later directly became a reference book for the Qing government in drafting the "Draft Imperial Constitution". Some of them have an indirect impact on China, such as Suzuki Basshu's "Constitutional Statement", which was a lecture he gave to the five ministers of the late Qing Dynasty who went abroad to inspect the entourage stranded in Japan. In addition, the "Records of Judicial Investigations Sent to Japan" is an important historical material reflecting the exchanges between the Puppet Manchukuo judiciary and Japan, and the pseudo "Six Laws of the Manchu Empire" is a material for studying the construction of the Puppet Manchukuo legal system.
