Features: This book is a collection of recordings from the author's lectures over the past five years at various institutions such as his own university, affiliated institutions, and courts. In the field of law, publishing lecture recordings or transcripts has positive significance: on one hand, although lecture transcripts tend to be more colloquial, good transcripts are often easy to understand and engaging, making them more accessible to readers than academic monographs. On the other hand, speakers often address major, challenging, or cutting-edge issues in academic or judicial practice, making their lectures highly targeted. Compared to systematic academic monographs, the content of lectures is more focused and concise, allowing listeners to better grasp the essence of the speaker's academic insights and the agility of their thinking.
What is more important is that while high-quality academic monographs are certainly needed to delve deeply into the forefront of legal theory, the author believes that, in a certain sense, there is also a need to disseminate legal concepts, particularly those of civil law, to the public so that they can actively participate in our rule-of-law construction. Therefore, lecture works are also needed by society. This small book dedicated to readers somewhat records some of the author's lecture content from various parts of the country over the years, or perhaps it can be said to document the and fragments of the author's civil law reflections. However, the book is not arranged in chronological order of the lectures, as doing so would inevitably lead to repetition and lack of organization. Thus, in terms of its structure, although this is a collection of lecture works, it is still organized by certain thematic sections to facilitate reading.
