What is the "civil code era"?

China's civil legal system has since opened the "civil code era".

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, according to the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, the 12th National People's Congress and its Standing Committee have made the compilation of the civil code and the formulation of the general principles of civil law the key tasks of legislative work. The civil code will consist of general provisions and specific provisions. At present, the legislature is considering sub-parts such as property rights, contracts, tort liability, marriage and family and inheritance.

The General Principles of Civil Law stipulate the basic principles of civil law, civil subject, civil rights, civil juristic acts, civil liability and limitation of action, and so on, which constructs the basic framework of China's civil legal system and lays the foundation for compiling the Civil Code.

The General Principles of Civil Law inherit the excellent traditional cultural ideas of our country, carry forward the socialist core values, and emphasize that civil subjects should follow the principles of voluntariness, fairness, honesty and credit when engaging in civil activities. Should be conducive to saving resources and protecting the ecological environment; Shall not violate the law, public order and good customs.

The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core attaches great importance to the compilation of the Civil Code, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee clearly put forward the important legislative task of compiling the Civil Code. The dream of "Chinese Civil Code" pursued by generations in New China has taken a solid step, which will surely lay a solid foundation for the construction of the French Open in China and provide inexhaustible motive force for China.

Compiling the Civil Code adheres to the leadership of the Party, takes the road of rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and promotes the construction of the French Open in China to a new height. The Civil Code has improved the level of national governance.

Civil law is one of the most important pillars of the legal system. The compilation of civil code is the epitome of a country, a nation's legal tradition, belief in the rule of law and self-confidence in the rule of law. Compiling China people's own civil code is the dream of China legislators, legal workers and even the whole people, which embodies the ambition of national rise. It has changed several times.
