Features: Liang Qichao was the foremost encyclopedic scholar and great thinker in modern Chinese academic history. His pioneering contributions to modern Chinese philosophy, political science, economics, history, literature, sociology, theology, and ethics are unparalleled. These have long been recognized by people. However, as a leading figure in modern Chinese jurisprudence, Liang Qichao's groundbreaking contributions to the field have yet to be fully acknowledged. Throughout his life, Liang wrote over 3 million words of legal works, which, in terms of volume, are no less extensive than Shen Jiaben's Studies on Criminal Law Throughout the Dynasties and Collected Writings, as well as a small number of unpublished legal manuscripts. As for Yan Fu's Annotations on The Meaning of Law and the few legal essays in Collected Works of Yan Houguan and Complete Works of Yan Houguan, they are far inferior in volume to Liang's works. At the end of this book, a comprehensive bibliography of Liang's legal writings is included, from which readers can see the vast scope of legal fields he explored.
