Features: A General History of Chinese Legal Thought (Volume 2) primarily discusses the period when China's feudal society entered the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties (220–581 AD). During this time, the feudal autocratic legal system established since the Qin and Han dynasties underwent significant development, laying the foundation for the establishment of a complete feudal legal system in the Sui and Tang dynasties. At the same time, legal thought and legal theory in this era presented a vibrant and diverse new landscape of development. Although the views of each school did not deviate from the essence of feudal "ethical principles and rituals," their arguments differed, each with its own unique characteristics. This book is the second volume of A General History of Chinese Legal Thought, providing a detailed exposition of the evolution and development of legal thought in early civilized societies from the Three Kingdoms, the Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty. The book is comprehensive in content, well-structured, logically organized, and supported by extensive evidence. It possesses high scientific rigor, systematicity, theoretical depth, and academic value, making it suitable for legal researchers and judicial professionals to read, study, and reference.
