Features: With the progress of China's socialist material and spiritual civilization, China's socialist legal system has achieved remarkable achievements worldwide. One by one, criminal laws, civil and commercial laws, economic laws, and administrative laws have been successively promulgated by the country's highest authorities. It can be said that we have basically achieved the goal of having laws to rely on, and the legal system for China's socialist market economy has also taken shape. This will undoubtedly play a huge role in ensuring the livelihood of the Chinese people, maintaining orderly market competition, and enabling the government to govern according to law, as well as in building a socialist rule-of-law state. The abstract nature of legal norms and the professionalism of legal language have created many obstacles for the general public in understanding legal content, while also posing certain difficulties for judicial and law enforcement workers in applying the law. Moreover, there are still many aspects of China's existing laws that need improvement. How to correctly understand and accurately apply the law has become an urgent issue before us. To help the general readers understand the specific content and judicial application of China's laws, we have invited experts and scholars from the Law and Legislation Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Renmin University of China, China University of Political Science and Law, Peking University, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and other institutions to jointly write this series, "New Compendium of Common Laws in the New Century." Following the order of legal articles, this series provides a comprehensive explanation of the legislative intent and specific application of nearly 50 commonly used laws in China, divided into three main parts: key term explanations, understanding and application, and cases and commentaries. In the key term explanations section, definitions are provided for the main terms in each article to prevent disagreements in application; in the understanding and application section, the content and application of each article are elaborated on specifically; and in the cases and commentaries section, selected cases related to each article are commented on to deepen understanding. This series strives to reflect China's recent mature theories and judicial practices. All content is aligned with the latest laws, regulations, rules, and judicial interpretations, and modifications to relevant laws are clearly stated in the corresponding sections of the text.
