Features: Currently, the book market has published a variety of legal and regulatory compilations, such as various "all-in-one" books, complete works, codes, and essential guides. The editing and publication of these books, with their comprehensiveness and systematic nature, once became essential reference tools for industry professionals. However, due to their sheer comprehensiveness and high prices, coupled with the practice of bundling sales without regard to specialization or field, many readers were deterred from purchasing them. In reality, most people do not need to purchase and consult all laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations. Even legal professionals, with the increasing specialization in their fields, have selective needs regarding the laws and regulations they understand and apply. Based on this, our publishing house, after conducting extensive and in-depth research on the legal and regulatory book market, has spent a long time planning and editing this "Practical Core Regulations Series" (80 volumes) to meet the multi-level needs of readers for current legal and regulatory information.
Compiling legal and regulatory materials is not simply about packaging and stacking laws and regulations. It should incorporate the compiler's own philosophy and intellectual effort. Many of the currently published individual legal and regulatory books are simply categorized by departmental law without considering or including the full range of related regulatory information or prioritizing it. To address this situation, we have established our own editorial philosophy:
- Serve the readers, understanding their needs;
- Make it convenient for readers, allowing them to quickly and directly find the content they need;
- Be faithful to the readers, ensuring the accuracy, currency, and authority of newly included laws and regulations;
- Benefit the readers, enabling them to obtain the maximum amount of legal and regulatory information in their chosen field with the minimum expenditure.
Based on this editorial philosophy and market research, we have classified the current complex and fragmented laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations according to the social relationships they regulate, particularly which groups' behaviors they primarily govern. We have divided them into 80 thematic volumes, covering nearly all fields such as politics, economy, culture, science and technology, education, and social life, allowing readers to choose freely and meet the diverse needs of different reader groups for specific legal and regulatory information. For example, classified by regulatory fields, there are works such as Practical Core Regulations on Criminal Law, Practical Core Regulations on Evidence, Practical Core Regulations on Press and Publication, Practical Core Regulations on Legal Aid, and Practical Core Regulations on the Protection of Laborers' Rights. Classified by the primary groups their behaviors regulate, there are works such as Practical Core Regulations for Deputies of the National People's Congress and Practical Core Regulations for Civil Servants.
Additionally, to facilitate readers in accessing every law and regulation economically, quickly, and conveniently, we have structured each volume around the main law, including all related information. Each volume is divided into three parts:
1. The main law;
2. Implementation rules, departmental regulations, and judicial interpretations;
3. Appendices with a directory and index of all other legal information related to the field.
For each law, it functions like a small encyclopedia, ensuring that readers have all the necessary information at their fingertips with just one book.
China Zhengfang Publishing House has published relatively few legal compilations, but each one that has been published has been well-received and best-selling. The "Zhengfang Edition" legal compilations have produced many outstanding works. The Complete Collection of Current Laws, Regulations, and Judicial Interpretations of the People's Republic of China, first published in 1997, has been continuously revised 11 times since then, with a total circulation exceeding 120,000 sets, standing out as the sole leader among tools of similar scale. The Latest Common Economic Laws and Regulations, published in 1994, has been revised 17 times and has a circulation exceeding 200,000 copies. The Complete Collection of Common Laws and Regulations of the People's Republic of China, the first legal compilation in China to use computers to categorize tens of thousands of cases and social activities, first filters out the laws and regulations frequently applied in practice and then organizes them according to an internal logic that facilitates easy retrieval. In just two years since its release, it has circulated over 30,000 copies.
By the end of 2002, our publishing house dedicatedly created and published The Complete Collection of Laws and Regulations of the People's Republic of China, approved by the Legal Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, challenging current domestic publications with its low price and large volume.
This demonstrates our publishing house's extensive experience in compiling legal and regulatory materials. The newly launched "Practical Core Regulations Series" has also undergone extensive research, with renowned legal experts serving as consultants and a large writing team organized over a long period of preparation. We believe its release will bring readers a pleasant surprise.
At the same time, we sincerely hope that readers will provide valuable suggestions during their use of this series to help us continuously improve it, making it a brand-name tool in the legal field and contributing to the application of the law, in gratitude for the readers' support.
