Research on the Civil and Commercial Law of Ancient China

中国古代存在规范意义上的民商法,中国古代民商法是在以刑为主、诸法合体的封建保守法律体系中得以存在和发展的,其在中国古代法律体系中一直处于从属与次要的地位,民商法典始终没有从刑法典中独立出来,并且,民法与商法规范也是不加区分地混在一起。中国古代民商法律规范经历了一个从少到多,从简单到复杂,从民刑不分到民刑有分,从相对分散到相对集中的发展历程。

In ancient China, there were civil and commercial law provisions although there were no civil code and commercial code.

The civil code and commercial code were never independent from the criminal code in ancient China. But the civil and commercial law provisions passed a way from less to more, from simple to complex.
