Features: In the development of socialist rule of law in China, commercial legislation is the most active field and also the most successful one. From the Foreign Investment Enterprises Law of 1979 to the Company Law of 1993, and then to the Trust Law of 2001, specialized legislation (laws or regulations) has been enacted in most commercial law fields, such as companies, enterprises, securities, bills of exchange, insurance, maritime law, trusts, guarantees, futures, tendering and bidding, and auctions. Since commercial law directly reflects the requirements of the market economy, learning and mastering the theoretical knowledge of commercial law can directly serve market economic activities. Therefore, commercial law has been highly valued in legal education and various forms of legal knowledge training, becoming a prominent highlight in legal studies, and commercial law research has also become one of the hot topics in legal theoretical studies. In recent years, the Law Department of Xiamen University has been committed to the development of civil and commercial law disciplines and courses, as well as textbook construction, organizing the writing of a series of civil and commercial law textbooks (including General Principles of Civil Law, Property Law, Debt Law, Intellectual Property Law, Marriage, Family, and Inheritance Law, Commercial Law [Volume I and II]). This has achieved certain results. To further advance the theoretical teaching and research of commercial law, the Law Department of Xiamen University has collaborated with Fujian Provincial Justice Administration Cadre College for the first time, organizing some teachers engaged in civil and commercial law theoretical teaching and research to write this series of commercial law books, aiming to make contributions in the teaching and research of commercial law. The original intention of writing this series of books is to provide undergraduate law students with a relatively complete textbook and reference book on commercial law. Therefore, we particularly emphasize that attention should be paid to combining China's legislative and judicial practices to systematically elaborate the basic concepts, fundamental knowledge, and core theories of various commercial laws, and to as far as possible absorb new achievements in theoretical research. Thus, this series of books can not only serve as teaching materials for commercial law but also as a reading for general readers to understand and master commercial law or the legal knowledge of a specific field of commercial law.
