Consideration of the Campaign of Codification of Civil Law in China

After briefing the present codification of civil law in China, this author observes the elements that stimulate the campaign of the codification. Based on the examination of the social and legal factors behind the campaign, this paper considers the problems concerned with codification and concludes that at present in China there still lacks a firm and sufficient basis of the codification of civil law. So it considers that there is no need to contrive with difficulties to codify civil laws out of vanity. What we should really do nowadays is to try hard to solve some urgent problems arising in jurisprudence and judicial practice and to effect the harmonization of civil law and other law branches in the operations.
