Abstract

There are many studies on whether there are officials in ancient Chinese law that need to bear civil liability to victims because of official crimes. Whether it is the provisions in the law, the way of assuming the responsibility for public crimes, or the way of compensation in practice, scholars have all argued. However, traditional Chinese legal history research papers are often difficult to combine “law” and “history” because of the obscure use of documents. Articles are often proofs that textbooks are a list of models, even irrespective of the proof. “Civil Servants’ Civil Liability to Administrative Counterparties in Chinese Law”, as a professional work on administrative law, is worthy of profound study by scholars of legal history. It’s most appropriate to quote Professor Liu Guang’an’s evaluation here — “This article has truly achieved the modernization of ancient Chinese and the expression of the Westernization of traditional laws.” Mr. Wang’s doctoral dissertation took a different approach and adopted another set of methods for writing, providing a perspective different from traditional writing methods for the writing of legal history professional articles. It is not only a change in writing technology, but also a diversified method of learning theoretical knowledge.
