Orientation of "Law" in the General Principles of the Civil Code Yudong Lu*, Dan Li

Abstract

The construction of a society under the rule of law in China has entered the "Civil Code Era", and the exploration of the Civil Code has also entered the "Interpretation Era". The text of the Civil Code is an empirical basis for understanding civil law. The term "law" appears frequently in the General Regulations of the Civil Code, which either refers to this law, or refers to legal norms outside this law, or refers to the non- existent provisions. "Law" is a channel linking the Civil Code with other legal norms. The establishment of "Law" should take necessity as an important consideration, the balance of certainty and flexibility as the direction guide, and the construction of a systematic and integrated civil law system as the construction of the rule of law the ultimate goal.
