A three-volume book on the history of Chinese jurisprudence was recently released, highlighting the country's focus and efforts in strengthening the basic subject of law, legal experts said.

While lauding the publication of the book, which was written by Yu Zhong, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, Ma Huaide, president of the university, emphasized its significant role in law education and legal theory research in the new era.

"In recent years, we've attached great importance to the improvement of law science, especially basic subjects in this field," Ma said. "More scholars have focused on and studied the history of legal system and legal thoughts, with more attention to integration between the development of legal practice and the basic theories of law."

He called for increased studies on these basic subjects and promoting the transformation and innovation of these fine traditional legal cultures, "as it will help provide stronger theoretical support for comprehensively building a modern socialist country on the track of rule of law," he added.

Ma Xiaohong, a professor at Renmin University of China, praised the book at a seminar on basic subjects of law on Saturday, noting "jurisprudence and history of law haven't been well integrated as two basic subjects, but the book makes a contribution to it."

Luo Guannan, another professor from China University of Political Science and Law, regarded the book, which was published by the East China Normal University Press, as a milestone in the field of jurisprudence, adding "it's very enlightening and inspiring for legal researchers like me."

"The book is important for the development of both jurisprudence and legal history, because it has made jurisprudence no longer an abstract concept, but relates to legal events in China over thousands of years," he said at a seminar on basic subjects of law on Saturday.

"At the same time, it has also enriched the research of our country's legal history," he added.

"I'm touched by the book, in which, the author mentioned that to understand the jurisprudence of contemporary and future China, it is necessary to review the ancient jurisprudence history of the country," he noted.
