中国自夏王朝制定成文法典《禹刑》以来,尽管历朝历代的封建统治者都十分重视法典的编纂,制订了诸如《法经》《唐律疏议》等重要法典,但这些法典大都以刑法为主,民法却并未形成系统、完整和严密的体系,现代意义上的独立民法也并未出现。这在一定程度上成为近代法学界研究的动因。 Since the enactment of the criminal code “Yu Punishment” in the Xia dynasty, although the feudal rulers of various dynasties have attached great importance to the codification of codex, and have drawn up important codex such as “Law and Law” and “Tang Law Discussed”, most of these codes are based on criminal law Mainly civil law did not form a systematic, complete and strict system, the modern sense of an independent civil law did not appear. To a certain extent, this has become the motivation for the study of modern jurisprudence.
