Features: This book explores the issue of how ethnic legal systems adapt to the spirit of the times from the perspectives of legal philosophy, legal sociology, and ethnic legal studies, using the example of ethnic legal systems in western China during the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society. The author proposes that the spirit of the times, ethnic spirit, and ethnic legal systems are the core components of a nation's spiritual state, spiritual support, and spiritual motivation, as well as the core of institutional culture. Ethnic spirit is the traditional force of social control in ethnic societies, serving as the foundation and origin of the spirit of the times. The spirit of the times is the inheritance and development of ethnic spirit in the contemporary era, while ethnic legal systems are the contemporary embodiment and new requirements of ethnic spirit. Based on this analysis of ethnic legal theory, the author takes ethnic legal systems as a starting point to conduct in-depth research on issues such as ethnic political legal system construction during the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society, ethnic economic legal system construction, ethnic cultural and educational legal system construction, ethnic religious legal system construction, ethnic social stability and community legal system construction.
