早就听说日本法学界对中国法律史的研究硕果累累,在某些方面甚至超过中国学者。然而,由于中文译本不多,所读者较少,总有点耳听为虚的感觉。前不久,细读了由段秋关翻译、日本著名学者西田太一郎所著的《中国刑法史研究》后,方感到眼见为实,茅塞顿开。 It has long been heard that the Japanese legal community has done a great job in studying the history of Chinese law and in some ways even surpasses the Chinese scholars. However, due to the small number of Chinese translations and the small readership, there is always a feeling that the ear is empty. Not long ago, after reading the “History of Chinese Criminal Law Studies” translated by Duan Qiu Guan and well-known Japanese scholar Nishida Nishida, Fang felt that seeing was true and that Mao met without reservation.
