Features: Civil and Commercial Law is vast and profound, not only rich in theoretical content but also highly practical. In the process of establishing a socialist market economy system and achieving the grand goal of governing the country by law in China, civil and commercial law, as the most fundamental legal department in the socialist legal system, involves all aspects of social life and has thus gained widespread recognition. Theoretical research in civil and commercial law has also become one of the most sought-after fields among scholars and those studying legal disciplines. In recent years, the popularity of civil and commercial law in postgraduate entrance exams is a good indication, and the nationwide publishing and learning of the Contract Law in 1999 is another excellent example. Since the establishment of the socialist market economy system, China's civil and commercial law discipline has developed rapidly, with remarkable research achievements, and its theoretical foundations have gradually matured. Organizing the theory of civil and commercial law and its legal practice in China, we have compiled a series of civil and commercial law readers, which can both systematically reflect the basic theories of civil and commercial law and combine with China's legal practice to explore civil and commercial legal issues in practice. It can serve as a textbook for law majors in universities and also be used by general readers to study the theoretical knowledge of civil and commercial law. This is the common aspiration of all the authors. The Civil and Commercial Law discipline of the Law School of Xiamen University is a key discipline in Fujian Province, and the Civil and Commercial Law Series is one of the outcome forms of the discipline's planning and construction. The publication of this series has been greatly supported by Xiamen University Press. Mr. Shi Gaoxiang, the editor, has devoted a great deal of effort to the planning and editing of this series. Special thanks are hereby expressed to him. Civil General Theory is one of the "Civil and Commercial Law Series." This book systematically and concisely elaborates on the basic concepts, principles, and relevant provisions of China's Civil Code regarding civil legal relations, natural persons, legal persons, objects, civil legal acts, agency, statute of limitations, dates and periods, the effectiveness, application, and interpretation of civil law, etc.
