Features: The emergence and development of the criminal procedure law are not accidental; they evolve alongside the development of the state system, economic system, social system, and cultural traditions. It always reflects the will of the ruling class and serves to maintain the ruling order of the ruling class, always aligning with the nature of the state's political power. Since its inception, criminal procedure law has a history spanning several centuries. In the historical development of criminal procedure law, there is a relatively independent historical development pattern. The four historical forms of criminal procedure law that have successively emerged—slavery, feudalism, capitalism, and socialism—all represent a process of critically inheriting the experience of predecessors. We must approach the study of foreign criminal procedure law as we would historical cultural heritage, understanding its emergence, development, current status, and future trends, clarifying its origins and analyzing its experiences and lessons. Only in this way can we boldly draw on and absorb its valuable experiences, which is extremely important for the research and development of criminal procedure law in our country.
