Second, the use of "Civil Code" instead of "Civil Code Law" in the title is meaningful for the following reasons: , in addition to the translation of Civil Code provisions, this book also includes "Materials" and "Interpretation" sections; second, it will adhere to this format in future revisions and gradually expand the translations of civil special laws and civil exceptional laws outside the Civil Code.
