Features: Legal history is a branch of law with strong humanistic characteristics, the human aspect of law, and the study of reflecting on the laws that have driven human (subjectively and actively) development and progress. Only those with profound humanistic sentiments of compassion for the suffering and empathy for all living beings can truly appreciate the depth and richness of legal history and recognize its sacred historical responsibility. Nowadays, with everyone vying for profit and the nation in a state of frenzy, there are fewer and fewer people who can speak of poetry. We cannot help but be concerned. At the same time, legal history, as the true deep waters in the vast lake of law, can only be navigated by those with excellent swimming skills. But nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people with both the ability and courage to enter this deep water. In this era of "two shortages" [fewer capable and fewer courageous], we hope to rally the great scholars who can awaken the public's humanistic sense of responsibility, to expect more in-depth, solid, broad-minded, and methodologically innovative academic research in legal history, and to expect the new generation of legal historians who are willing to step up, full of vigor, and who will carry forward the torch. This is the purpose and driving force behind the publication of Chinese and Western Legal Traditions.
