Abstract

The chapter shows how the long journey to the Code, started in the late Qing dynasty, has been characterized by the desire to combine tradition and modernity, to integrate local customs with foreign legal models. The Code is the final result of collective efforts over almost two centuries in order to ‘gather the wisdom of the multitude, and turn it into the great code’. There are three sources of inspiration for the current Code: Socialism and its Chinese practice, Chinese legal tradition, and the West with the transplant of its legal institutions. The Code is considered to be a milestone in the process of modernization of the Chinese legal order, a ‘modernization in Chinese style’, and a Chinese contribution to legal modernity, based on the integration of the three original elements mentioned above.
