Features: The translation of Western legal codes by Chinese scholars and the introduction of Western legal studies began during the late Qing Dynasty's reform and modernization. Initially, it was out of necessity, aiming to explore the techniques for prosperity and assist in governance reforms. Later, it evolved into a pursuit of legal principles, seeking changes in application and transforming governance practices. Then, in the process of diplomacy and balance, it explored the interplay between facts and rules, delved into the evolution of legal intent and human psychology, and strived to establish a well-ordered human life. Over these hundred years, from East to West, through accumulated labor and wisdom, it has not only guided the tragic and heroic efforts of the Chinese nation to reconstruct human rules and social order but will also, like a trickle of water merging into a river, contribute to the refinement and shaping of a more ideal and pleasant human life for all humanity through the fusion and resonance of different cultural types, fulfilling the legal and philosophical reflections of our Chinese nation.
