Features: What is our purpose? To advance academia and nothing more than academic research. As for whether our research can contribute to the nation or benefit society, this small book cannot bear that responsibility; as for whether what we introduce can be heard by others, that is beyond our control. What we can strive for is to offer our serious thoughts. What do we study? Private law. Whether it is civil or commercial law, all rules and methods in private life are our objects of study. How do we study it? Starting from the introduction and research of the German legal system's private law, and ending with the construction of private law systems in the Chinese-speaking world. The German relationships we refer to are not limited to Germany's private law system but include Austria, Switzerland, and legal systems influenced by them; the private law systems we refer to are not limited to existing regulations but trace their origins and follow their evolution; the systems we refer to are not limited to their manifestations in positive law but also explore doctrines and judgments beyond positive law; the Chinese-speaking world we refer to is clearly not limited to mainland China. Therefore, this small book is titled "Comparative Study of Chinese and German Private Law"
