Features: Fiscal activities are an integral part of the entire socio-economic and political activities, and also a concentrated reflection of various contradictions in social development. As a social science, fiscal theory must serve the reality on one hand, starting from practical conditions and the bigger picture, researching new situations and problems, seeking theoretical solutions and countermeasures to resolve contradictions. On the other hand, it must also adapt to the development of the times and continuously innovate. The time span of this selected works spans 43 years from the author's first published paper in 1960, many of which have become historical. Especially in the articles from the 1960s, some arguments and wording may give modern readers a sense of being disconnected from the past, but this is indeed history! Publishing it today serves two purposes: first, as a commemoration from my students to celebrate my 70th birthday; second, it reflects, from a partial and fragmentary perspective, my research on the development of China's fiscal theory and practice. This may provide some reference for later generations studying the development of Chinese fiscal theory!
