Features: My glory does not lie in winning forty or so battles; Waterloo can destroy so many victories. But what cannot be destroyed by anything and will forever exist is my Civil Code. — Napoleon Bonaparte
The French Civil Code is a masterpiece among Napoleon's five famous codes, the pinnacle of his achievements in governance, the cornerstone and standard of civil and social life in France, the second constitution of France, and the "greatest treasure" of the French nation. The French Civil Code is the world's first civil code, a major classic of the civil law system, and has had a profound impact worldwide over the past 200 years. It is a high-flying banner and an eternal monument. The Chinese translation of this French Civil Code is a breakthrough in the translation of foreign legal codes in China over the past century. It is the first time that relevant judicial precedents related to the articles have been comprehensively included, and it will undoubtedly become an important reference for civil law research and civil legislation in our country.
