1. Su Li: The Rule of Law and Its Indigenous Resources [How the System is Formed, Reading Order, and Sending the Law to the Countryside]

[Points of introduction] The greatest value of this book is in the "enlightenment" of jurisprudence. It will show you what kind of vision and method we should adopt in observing legal phenomena, how to cultivate our learning and research paths, and how to reveal common sense and challenge established knowledge and concepts. For first-year university students, after reading this book, they will feel that law is not as boring as we think. Later, the book "send the law to the countryside" can be said to be the first book of the theory of the further development and specific application, more full and full, although I still think its "local resources" book is the most important.

2. Yu Wujin: "Questions Outside the Domain of Questions"

[Introduction] As a popular book of philosophical knowledge and introduction to schools of thought, this book not only introduces readers to a new world of philosophy, but more importantly, it is quite helpful in opening up and broadening the domain of questions for students, especially in how to form their own sense of questions. How to ask questions, what kind of questions, this is the university has to pay attention to the training of the ability, it is very often more important than the specific knowledge.

3. Fei Xiaotong: "Native China Fertility System" [Jiangcun Economy]

[Points of introduction] Today, we are away from Mr. Fei's writing of this book has been separated from the age of 60 to 70 years, but Mr. Fei in the book done in the current situation of the analysis of China's China is still so pertinent to today's China; Mr. Fei's sense of the problem and the bones of the article, we are still today still very far from it. Every legal person should reflect on: where is the intellectual contribution of jurisprudence?

4. Wu Si: "Subterfuge - the real game in Chinese history"

[Points of introduction] Perspective on the rules of the game of the actual operation of Chinese society. Why is there a more applicable set of potential rules outside of our formal system? The author projects the story from history to today's reality. We can reflect on the following questions: What are the conditions under which the law really works in life? What is the relationship between the moral goodness of the law and the actual pattern of stakes? Do we survive on the iceberg of self-deception, or do we rise in bitter introspection?

5. Wang Xiaobo: The Silent Majority [The Golden Age]

[Points of view] This is a sober book, rational book, humorous book and wise book. It brings us not only insight into life and society, but more importantly tells us what is the spirit of independent thinking and judgment; what is true humanistic care. As lawyers, perhaps the greatest enlightenment given to us by this book is: the law that lacks care for the "silent majority" and a "spiritual home" is a law without life. But you must remember: Wang Xiaobo's novels, especially the "Golden Age", read more evocative.

6. Hans Christian Andersen: Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales

[point of introduction] What we lack is a Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale world, this world is a real world, is a world of happiness and suffering, laughter and tears. The greatest fear of those who study law is the loss of a child's heart. For those of you who have not read Andersen's stories, I want to tell you: come into this world, it's not too late, it will make you get a little sounder.

7. Berman: Law and Religion

[Point of view] Brilliantly written and translated. Explores the spirit behind the law, what underpins it. "Without faith, the law it will be nothing." As China's established legal traditions are being broken, how should we find new traditions of living under the law? Of course, when reading this book, do not one-sidedly pursue the wonderful statements in it, but pay more attention to the ideas and clues of the analysis.

8. Feng Xiang: "Justice on Wooden Legs"

[Introduction] I believe that this book should be an excellent case study for those who specialize in law. The author, with the advantage of his literary discipline, is able to navigate between law and society. Peeling back the layers of legal cases, the book is both far-reaching and wide-ranging, making it a good book to read.

9. Liang Zhiping: The Defense of Law [New Persian Letters, Between Bookstore and Society]

[Introduction] This is a collection of Mr. Liang's series of articles published in the mid- to late-1980s in the Reading magazine, which are his practice and speech of "explaining law with culture and culture with law. Mr. Leung's case practice and discourse. The book is a blend of dialectic, critique and rational thought. For young students, reading this book can also teach them how to read and how to organize their own experience in some "subtle" ways. The book "New" is also a critical work made by several other authors in the early days; the book "Bibliotheca" is the author's cultural essays, which are written in a relaxed and casual manner, but also more powerful.

10. Huang Renyu: The Fifteenth Year of the Wanli Calendar [Capitalism and the Twenty-first Century]

[Points of introduction] The author's thoroughness and familiarity with history, as well as his insightful analysis of China's political system, show a perfect combination of "historical facts" and "historical knowledge". All these show the perfect combination of "historical facts" and "historical knowledge". The writing is skillful and accomplished. His explanation of the relationship between politics and morality, and the operation of rules and living conditions, is very enlightening to our understanding of tradition and law. This book is not to be missed.

11. Max Weber: Scholarship and Politics. Max Weber, "Scholarship and Politics" [The Methodology of the Social Sciences]

[Introduction] The author's view of the relationship between scholarship, politics, and even life can really clear up a lot of our understanding. We live in an age where the lack of piety and conviction affects our understanding of ourselves, and we go so far as to wonder what it means to be in a profession other than making a living. This book can tell us some of the answers.

12. Ying Xing: "The Story of the Petition of the Great River Migrants"

[Introduction] A sociological work written in the method of "storytelling". The work is a sociological work written in the method of "storytelling", facing the operation of the power of the state and the people in the "migrants", revealing the strategies and games of political control, and paying attention to the survival of the common people. In terms of research methodology, openness and innovation of research questions, this book is a wake-up call to the complacent legal scholars.

13. Wallerstein et al: The Open Social Sciences

[Introduction] For every learner of the social sciences, including law, there must be a more conscious (though not necessarily sober) grasp of the nature and direction of the social sciences themselves. This book is challenging in this respect. It examines the construction of the social sciences as a form of knowledge; questions the division of labor in the social sciences; and the academic position of those engaged in the social sciences. The book is a short 70,000 words, a thin pamphlet, but it is much more valuable and thought-provoking than works that can run to hundreds of thousands or millions of words.

14. He Weifang: The Road to Legal Education in China

[Introduction] People who study law should have a basic understanding of the history, status and development of legal education. This book provides such an understanding. Not only that, when we rationally reflect on and review the current state of our own professional education and the contrasts in society, the first thing we need to do is to have a dispassionate understanding of the operation of this legal education ecosystem. One of the features of this book is that it gives us such a perspective.

15. Mayne: Ancient Law [Savigny: On the Contemporary Mission of Legislation and Jurisprudence]

[Introduction] A representative work of the historical school of law. The significance of his work lies not only in the fact that through his own research he outlined the lineage of legal development and put forward the deafening proposition of the movement of law "from identity to contract". More importantly, it lies in his independent and skeptical spirit of scholarship and his critique of the popular discourse of "natural equality". As Maine suggests, what is perhaps most needed is a constant scrutiny of old and new material, rather than blind faith. The latter book is also representative of the historical school of law.

16. Plato: The Travels to Syphron The Pleadings of Socrates Criton

[Point] This book is a collection of three famous dialogues on the trial and execution of Socrates. It shows how Socrates was sentenced and how he treated the gods, knowledge, ethics, law, and death. While the reader is struck by his personality, he will further ponder the major political and life questions of how Socrates really died. Teaching wisdom in dialog and cross-examination is another important benefit of this book.

17. Kafka: Selected Short Stories of Franz Kafka

[Point of View] The depth of Kafka's thought and the penetrating power of his language are sure to send chills down the spine of every reader. For great writers, any words of description are superfluous. Kafka makes us realize that we are losing what is precious to those people and what kind of life we will face after that. Some of Kafka's classic writings on law are important doors that open the door to our understanding of law and modernity, law and humanity.

18. Liu Xing: What is Law [Preliminary Chinese Jurisprudence, Jurisprudence and Law in Context]

[Points of introduction] The book is mainly a critical reading of twentieth-century Anglo-American legal theories, and is different from the usual introductory readings written by nationals. The book is different from the usual introductory readings written by the Chinese. The book provides an in-depth and detailed analysis of the theories that it considers important. The language is plain and the examples are concise. On this basis, the author intends to express his own perspective on the law: our view of the law is often determined by our posture.

19. Zhang Wenxian: A Study of the Categories of the Philosophy of Law

[Introduction] This book is a rigorous analysis of some of the categories of jurisprudence itself, and it is a masterpiece of Chinese jurisprudence in its standardization and systematization. Many of the concepts and "right-duty" models it proposes and analyzes have a deep impact on current jurisprudence textbooks. In terms of "academic" standards, although this book has some politicized imprints and some constructive colors, it is still an excellent work of Chinese jurisprudence that can be critiqued from an overall point of view.

20. Liu Junning, "*** and? Democracy? Constitutionalism

[Introduction] This is a "radical" work, a Chineseization of the "conservative" view of freedom. The author's position is self-evident, but his language is so distinctive and even "agitational" that it inevitably detracts from his academic flavor to a certain extent. Liberalism is still a sensitive issue in China, and for students who do not understand it, it is not easy to grasp and distinguish between the various currents of "freedom". This book provides a positive way forward, and we should also have a more comprehensive and calm thinking.

21. Cardozo, The Nature of the Judicial Process

[Introduction] He is an excellent judge and a profoundly insightful scholar. His ideas are clean and concise. He tells us how he decides cases, and that judges should not only "discover the law" but also "create the law". He combines innovation and limitation. His passion and his reasoning emphasize the nobility of the legal profession in these men. Cardozo's wisdom and restraint, both as a scholar and as a judge, have earned him the respect he deserves.

22. Wang Mingming and Wang Sifu, editors, Order, Justice and Authority in Vernacular Society

[Points of view] This book gathers the research of a number of scholars in law and sociology. The scholars' judgment and description of China's vernacular society, as well as their grasp and interpretation of the state of order in it, leave many thought-provoking questions for future research. In terms of jurisprudence, the research orientation of this book is a good attempt, but unfortunately, there is no follow-up research today to create a real academic momentum. This is a good book, but also a book we use to reflect on how to create China's academic tradition.

23. Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws

[Introduction] The book utilizes a variety of research methods: historical, comparative, and empirical. Inquiring into the nature and spirit of law, with a broad vision and elegance. It is also a representative work of the Enlightenment period, expounding the ideas of natural rights and the separation of powers. Although the author's "categorization and framing" is somewhat at odds with the method of social inquiry he advocates, this is the hallmark of a good work - it establishes a "paradigm" for successors to follow. Tocqueville: Discourses on Social Research 24. Tocqueville, On Democracy in America

[Introduction] There are many similarities between this book and its predecessor in terms of temperament. The author's analysis of American society and insight into democracy fully demonstrates his transcendent talent. The author's understanding of freedom deserves a long reflection. The discourse on the American legal profession and legal beliefs remains an invaluable intellectual asset for our legal construction today.

25. Liang Zhiping, "Seeking Harmony in the Natural Order--Research on Traditional Chinese Legal Culture" [Qing Dynasty Customary Law--Society and the State]

[Points of introduction] A "paradigm" in the study of Chinese legal history. A work of "paradigm" significance in the study of Chinese legal history. It opens up new areas of research and, more importantly, is self-conscious in the use of methodology. It is factual and descriptive, as well as culturally sympathetic and dialectical. What matters is not the author's use of multiple historical sources, but his interpretation of them. Nor is it the question whether he solves it that matters, but the way in which he poses it itself.

26. Qu Tongzu, Chinese Law and Chinese Society

[Point] Like the previous book, this is a classic in the study of legal history. The author of this book is profound and his language is plain. It cuts through the sociological lens. Of course, there are various sociological methods, and this book may also belong to the "normative sociology" approach. Moreover, the analysis of the law through the lens of Chinese society, this academic orientation itself is respectable.

27. Hart, The Concept of Law

[Introduction] A representative work of analytic jurisprudence. The author has a special sensitivity to the relationship between language and law, and presents and discusses a series of important concepts of contemporary jurisprudence that have had a profound impact on Western jurisprudence in the twentieth century and beyond. The translation of this book is slightly problematic, but overall it is readable. As a major student of Hart, I would recommend that we all pay more attention to this book and Hart's other writings.

28. Austin: The Scope of Jurisprudence [Kelsen: A General Theory of Law and the State]

[Point of reference] is a classic text in analytic jurisprudence. Influenced by positivism, Austin adhered to the separation of "law as it should be" and "law as it is", and tried to treat law as a true science. He proposed the legal model of sovereignty, command and sanction. We should re-understand analytical jurisprudence. Today, the original purpose of analytical jurisprudence (independence of law) seems to have been greatly distorted (ideologization of law). The latter book is also a masterpiece of analytic jurisprudence, but it is already very different in temperament from Hart's and Austin's. Remember: the differences within analytic law scholars are perhaps even greater than the differences between analytic jurisprudence and other schools of thought. So, when reading a book, it is important to look at the issues, not the "label".

29. Dworkin, Taking Rights Seriously [Empire of Law, The Law of Freedom]

[Point of view] The author's early masterpiece and masterpiece. This book is a systematic exposition of the author's view of rights. It is an important work for the study of rights today. The author's analysis of the rules, principles and policies in this book is very enlightening for us to deepen our understanding of the law. How do we care for and respect human rights? This is always a thought-provoking question.

30. Ehrman, Comparative Legal Cultures

[Point of view] In comparative law, this is a concise and distinctive work. The author is more concerned with the underlying ideological, conceptual and other dimensions that determine different legal systems. In other words, this book analyzes different laws and traditions from a cultural perspective. In terms of the manner of exposition, this book also differs from other works on comparative law in that it synthesizes the various legal systems according to the issues involved.

31. Jiang Shan: The Idea of Chinese Law

[Points to note] The author is unique in Chinese jurisprudence. He is fortunate not to have been "contaminated" by the modern Western industrialized academic system, and therefore his interpretation of the reality and ideal of Chinese law is inevitably imbued with truly Chinese thinking. Therefore, his interpretation of the realities and ideals of Chinese law must be imbued with genuine Chinese thinking. For this reason, his view of the law is not shared by those of us who focus on the "modern world" of the legal profession. This is one of the rare books written by a Chinese person that can be called "thoughtful".　

32. Bodenheimer, Jurisprudence: Legal Philosophy and Legal Method

[Introduction] This is a comprehensive work of jurisprudence that has had a great impact in China. The first half of the book briefly introduces the history of Western legal thought, and the second half deals with some jurisprudential issues that the author considers important, and on this basis proposes a comprehensive view of jurisprudence from the standpoint of natural law. One of the values of the book is perhaps its influence on Chinese jurisprudence since the mid-1980s. From the perspectives of academic history and language translation history, there could be some interesting research on this book.

Readable Books for Third-Year College Students

33. Kelley, A Brief History of Western Legal Thought

[Points of view] An alternative way of writing the history of legal thought. Instead of a "history of heroes", a "history of problems", focusing on exploring the intellectual sociology of the idea of analysis. Coupled with the author's literary merit and keen to see the problem, so that this book brings us a more "original flavor" of the legal thought of dining. From the translation, in the translation world "shoddy products" today, this book is a rare excellent and miscellaneous factual book.

34. Raymond Aron: "The main ideas of sociology". Raymond Aron: The Major Trends in Sociology

[Introduction] This book is a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the ideas of the seven great figures of sociology, Montesquieu, Comte, Marx, Tocqueville, Turgot, Pareto, and Weber. The author, himself a charismatic social thinker, strives not only to grasp the basic ideas of these sociologists, but also not to forget the intrinsic relevance of these social ideas to philosophical concepts and political thought .

35. Russell, A History of Western Philosophy [Philosophical Problems]

[Points to note] There are so many works on the history of philosophy, but this one has stood the test of time. Mr. Russell reveals a subdued and ethereal air throughout the book, and is not above flirting with a particular philosopher at times. I think, this kind of temperament is "heavy more than, depth is not enough" of the country lack. This book is written and systematically belongs to the orthodox, but also very real.

36. Feng Youlan: A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy

[Point] The author originally had a more comprehensive History of Chinese Philosophy. This one was originally written for foreigners. But on another level, this book is a much more polished read. It can be used as an introductory book, but at the same time can be read often. The author's views on the realm of life presented in the book are also very instructive to us.

37. Ji Weidong: The Construction of the Rule of Law

[Introduction] The author's way of learning and thinking y reflects a certain kind of grandeur and rationality. The book's introduction of contemporary Western jurisprudence and extra-territorial (especially Japanese) rule of law experience reveals the author's own concern for the construction of the rule of law in China. The book is carefully argued, with a strong academic color.

38. Liang Qichao: Liang Qichao Jurisprudence Anthology

[Introduction] As a jurist, Liang Qichao's pioneering contributions to Chinese jurisprudence should be known and recognized by young students. Liang Qichao was a wide-ranging and agile thinker with deep experience of China's social realities and practices. His writings are unrestrained and his arguments are powerful and eloquent. As for the actual fissures in his theory and practice, you must read the book with a sympathetic understanding, so as to correctly recognize that the size of one's contribution must be examined in relation to the era in which it was made.

39. Borsignano et al: The Gates of the Law

[Point of view] This book is a bit large. However, as a textbook work, it covers almost all the important areas of contemporary law. It is enlightening without being too lively; it is heavy on training the mind without feeling like it is sitting on the fence. Suffice it to say that this book takes the student exactly one step at a time into the halls of law. Interesting and weighty, this is my general assessment of the book. Compared with the "junk textbooks" that abound in the country, the advantages and disadvantages are self-judgment, needless to say.

40. Liu Xiaofeng: The Heavy Flesh [Salvation and Escape, Introduction to the Social Theory of Modernity]

[Introduction] A new interpretation of the ethics of modernity. Promoting an individualistic view of ethical narratives. Following Liu Xiaofeng's guidance, we will enter a world that is somewhat mysterious, somewhat ethereal, but unmistakably real. What kind of people do we want to be? What is the status quo of our morality? How do we grasp life? How do we look at art and life? After reading this book, you will definitely have a heavy harvest after lamenting.

41. Turgon: The Social Division of Labor [Theory of Suicide, Guidelines for Sociological Method, The Fundamental Forms of Religious Life]

[Introduction] The author is a sociological thinker on a par with Marx and Weber. This book is the first work of the author to establish his own way of thinking. The book puts forward the important concepts of "social solidarity", "collective consciousness", "social differentiation and integration", and the concepts of "mechanical solidarity" and "organic solidarity". It also discusses the binary division between "mechanical solidarity," "organic solidarity," "repressive sanctions," "restorative sanctions," and other historical laws.

42. Gadamer, Truth and Method

[Point of View] This book aspires to elucidate the basic features of philosophical hermeneutics, which allows hermeneutics to move from epistemology and ontology to methodology. The book argues that understanding and interpretation rely on the fusion of the field of view constituted with the subject's foresight and the field of view of the present. There is no doubt about the penetrating intellectual power of the book. For those who study law, the contribution that can be made to "hermeneutics" is in the "application", which is exactly what we need to pay attention to in the study of legal interpretation and legal methodology today.

43. He Weifang: The Idea and System of Justice [The Concrete Rule of Law, The Remaining Ink of the Law]

[Points of introduction] This book reflects the author's important thinking since he entered the study of justice. The author's style is unique, his thoughts are sharp, and he is good at combining western systems and theories with the practice of judicial reform in China. In addition to several important full-length essays, the author has also included many short and witty pieces that have had a wide impact. In their dual roles as intellectuals and active promoters of institutional reformers, the authors' actions give us a sample to analyze. The latter two books are equally perceptive and interesting, and the latter, in particular, is full of strong humanism and in my opinion perhaps even more worth reading.

44. Liang Zhiping: The Cultural Interpretation of Law

[Point of view] This is one of the most academically conscious books in contemporary Chinese legal studies. What kind of cultural position the author holds is not very important in my opinion, but how the author summarizes, criticizes and reflects on his own academic practice. If our academics can be built on the basis of such step-by-step accumulation and criticism, I believe this is the real hope of Chinese academics. This book is an "edited" book, and many popular "edited books" are compared, the reader will have a lot of sighs and judgments.

45. Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

[Point of view] I was fascinated by this book. I was attracted by the author's "solitary" temperament and religious experience. We may forget everything, but not our own existence as human beings. The author is considered a pioneer of existentialism, and his insights into the helplessness and pain of life make us understand life's fortunes and misfortunes anew.

46. Rawls, A Theory of Justice

[Point of View] This book has been hailed as "the most important theoretical work in the field of ethics and political philosophy" since World War II. The book covers the fields of jurisprudence, ethics, political science, sociology, and economics, and analyzes the issue of justice in depth, taking the theoretical presuppositions of the "curtain of ignorance" and the "original state" as the premise, and proposing the theory of "justice as It also discusses the principle of equality and freedom in the distribution of justice and the principle of fairness and difference in opportunity. It is also an important work of liberalism.

47. Pascal: A Book of Thoughts

[Point of Introduction] This book has accompanied me through many lonely and sleepless nights. The author says that man is a fragile reed; he also says that the whole dignity of man lies in his thoughts. The author says a lot of things that no one else could possibly say. The author is defending man himself, a true ocean of ideas.

48. William?6?1 Barrett, The Irrational Man - A Study in the Philosophy of Existentialism

[Points of view] The book sorts out and analyzes the main problems of existentialism and the main figures of existentialism, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre, and treats existentialism as an anti rationalist irrationalist trend of thought, and elucidates in detail the historical development of existentialism. The narrative approach adopted in this book is itself existentialist, and it will take you into the thick of the field.

49. Ke Wugang and Shi Manfei: Institutional Economics

[Introduction] We live in a world of institutions, and the consideration of the institutions themselves deserves particular attention. This book provides an up-to-date overview and summary of the school of institutional economics, and provides a more comprehensive discussion of the characteristics of institutions, the relationship between institutions and other social phenomena, the evolution of institutions, and the structure of institutions. It is lively, interesting and insightful. As a basic problem of human society, the issue of "system" is worth exploring a lot of places, and it is also very promising in theory.
