Features: Criminal law is a branch of law, and criminal law and the basic theories of law have a relationship of the special and the general. The development of criminal law cannot be separated from the guidance of the basic theories of law, and the achievements of criminal law should naturally continuously enrich and deepen the content of the basic theoretical research of law. There are many places in criminal law that contradict the basic theories of law. When everyone finds that the content of this textbook does not align with the basic theories of law, it is hoped that everyone will definitely use their brains: seriously think about whether these contents are an embodiment of the specificity of criminal law and a rich development of the basic theories of law, or whether they have deviated from the basic principles and need to be corrected according to the basic theories of law. Criminal law is the "guarantee law" for other branches of law, and the behavior adjusted by criminal law is, in most cases, primarily a violation of other branches of law. Therefore, correctly understanding the relationship between criminal law and other branches of law, and truly grasping the specific content of other branches of law as the premise of criminal law, is the premise and foundation for truly mastering criminal law theory, especially the theory of specific provisions of criminal law. Without this foundation, criminal law theory is not only "rootless trees" and "waterless wells," but also "silver-plated gun barrels" that look good but are not useful.
