Features: The contractual system during the Republican era was a product of the modernization process of the legal system since the revision of laws in the late Qing Dynasty. This book focuses on the various "changes" in the contractual system during that period: whether the state's contractual law underwent substantive modernization, when, through what means, and in what ways; what changes occurred in private contractual practices. Did these changes align with the modernization of state contractual law, or were there conflicts? How did the judicial authorities resolve these conflicts through an examination of traditional and modern aspects, as well as state law and private practices. It describes one side of the development of modern Chinese civil law.
