General Principles of Civil Law
Tags
Summary
Editor's review
The book's standout value lies in its interpretive stance. Unlike textbooks that merely introduce statutory provisions, Professor Cui is committed to a deep analysis of the provisions of the general part of civil law within the existing legal framework using the methods of legal interpretation, exploring their normative purposes, boundaries of application, and possible interpretive solutions. This approach helps readers build a chain of thinking "from norm to practice" and cultivate the ability to apply the law. On frontier and difficult issues such as "the concretization of the principle of public order and good morals," "the balance between objective and subjective standards in the interpretation of expressions of intent," and "the conditions for applying the doctrine of disregarding corporate personality," the book offers insightful analyses that reflect the author's profound scholarly grounding.
For readers who wish to gain a deep understanding of the foundational theory of Chinese civil law, this book provides a rigorous and solid text for study. It does not aim for exhaustive popular exposition but focuses on deepening the scholarly understanding of core institutions, and thus requires readers to have some basic knowledge of civil law. Overall, this is a high-quality academic work that can guide readers beyond the surface of statutory provisions to think deeply about the inner logic and spirit of civil law.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Upper-level undergraduates and graduate students at law schools, for deepening their understanding of the general theory of civil law
- Candidates preparing for the legal professional qualification examination or graduate entrance examinations, as reference material for elevating their theoretical grasp
- Legal practitioners engaged in civil and commercial adjudication, arbitration, or litigation representation
- Scholars and researchers with a deep interest in the foundational theory of civil law
Not a good fit for
- General readers seeking a quick understanding of basic civil law knowledge or an accessible popular book
- Complete beginners with no background in legal knowledge whatsoever
Reading tips
- It is recommended to read this book alongside the standalone edition of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, understanding the scholarly exposition while reading the statutory provisions
- While reading, pay particular attention to the "Theoretical Discussion" or "Case Analysis" sections at the end of each chapter, and try to think independently before comparing your views with the author's
- For important but difficult concepts (such as the system of the validity of juristic acts), slow down your reading pace and combine it with other classic textbooks for extended reading to deepen your understanding

About the author
Cui Wenxing is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available. Three of his works are included in the collection: General Principles of Civil Law, Principles of Property Law (Volume Two), and Principles of Property Law (Volume One). Judging from the titles and the common categories, his writing centers on law, covering the basic theory of civil law and the system of property law, while also extending to social culture and social science topics. The two volumes of Principles of Property Law are arranged as an upper and lower set, suggesting an intention to treat the subject systematically; General Principles of Civil Law addresses the general rules of civil law. Overall, Cui Wenxing's works tend toward textbook-style, principle-based exposition, aimed at law students and readers who need to understand the institutional framework, and offer some reference value in spreading knowledge of civil law and property law. Because public information is limited, his life, identity, and academic background cannot be confirmed at present.
