Features: In Liang Qichao's works, what is discussed most and most concentrated is undoubtedly legal thought. His specialized treatises on law amount to over three million words, while the text indirectly mentioning it also spans several million words. In terms of the depth and breadth of his research, it is unmatched by other thinkers of the same era. In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to call him a prominent modern legal scholar. Academia has paid insufficient attention to this aspect in the past. The author strives to comprehensively summarize and organize Liang Qichao's legal thought from a jurisprudential perspective, elucidate its academic value, and assign its academic position in the history of modern legal thought.
