The Foreign Legal History course edited by Professor He Qinhua has been recognized as a top-quality course in legal education by the Ministry of Education. This book serves as a companion textbook for the course, deeply favored by readers for its solid and innovative style. Building on the strengths of previous unified textbooks in this discipline both domestically and internationally, this book aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing textbooks, which are often cross-cutting and overly complex in content. Drawing on over a decade of teaching experience from the contributing authors, it presents a completely new structure—ancient and medieval law organized by legal systems, and modern law organized by countries—ranging from the Code of Hammurabi to the European Union law. The system is clear and well-organized. The new edition presented to readers incorporates recent research findings in this discipline, making the content richer. In terms of form, it boldly breaks new ground by adding illustrations based on the characteristics of legal history, which not only broadens students' horizons but also enhances teaching effectiveness, making the book more visual and enjoyable to read.
