Features: National Planning Textbook for the 15th Five-Year Plan in General Higher Education. This textbook is a National Planning Textbook for the 15th Five-Year Plan in General Higher Education. It takes the three pillars of finance—money, financial markets, and financial institutions—as its main thread, following the logic of money → financial assets → operation of financial markets → operation of financial institutions → macro-control and regulation → financial risk control → financial development and innovation to elaborate on and introduce the fundamental principles and practical issues of finance. It emphasizes both the micro-level and market-oriented operation of finance, as well as the overall and institutionalized control of finance. The textbook is divided into five parts: Introduction, Money, Financial Markets, Financial Institutions, and Financial Development. It can be used for teaching in economic and management disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as for professional training in financial departments and self-study reference. The textbook strives to highlight the following features: First, systematicity, reflecting both the existing achievements of monetary finance while also focusing on inheritance and development; second, practicality, minimizing the gap between theory and practice, and emphasizing the connection with China's current stage of development, particularly the inclusion of universally meaningful outcomes since the reform and opening-up; third, novelty, incorporating more recent, practice-tested academic ideas and theoretical perspectives from both domestic and international sources, supported by selected supplementary materials in the appendix; fourth, relevance, paying attention to connections with related disciplines to overcome the isolation and closed nature of previous disciplinary settings, making it more open; fifth, appropriateness, ensuring the depth, breadth, and volume of the content align with the teaching requirements of undergraduate education.
