Features: Introduction to the book "The Formation and Development of the East Asian Cultural Circle - Political and Legal Culture," which includes sixteen essays, with eleven focusing on political culture and five on legal culture. From the discussions in these essays, it can be observed that scholars either emphasize the universal phenomena of culture or the specific phenomena of culture. In terms of research methods, whether studying universal or specific cultural phenomena, it is necessary to approach them with care to achieve a comprehensive understanding. Furthermore, the adoption of culture is selective due to varying regional needs, influenced by subjective considerations. These issues are addressed in the essays collected in this book, providing a platform for dialogue and contributing to a better understanding of the past and future of East Asian historical culture.
