我国民法法典化的历史反思

Reflections on the History of China's Civil Code

随着我国民事单行法的不断出台,制定民法典成为民法学者的迫切期盼。罗马法两次编纂法典的历史经验表明,罗马法在经历了第一次法学家解答权时的兴盛,以及后来查士丁尼《国法大全》的再一次兴盛之后,仍然难逃衰落的命运。因此,法典化的价值值得我们去认真反思,并对我国民法法典化的前提、功能和后果提出质疑,进而主张我国不应该制定民法典,应采取开放的立法体系。

As civil law appeared in China,codification of civil law is what scholars urgently expect.In Rome＇s history,there have been two codifications,the first is the prosperity of jurists＇ right of interpreting,and the second is the appearance of Justinian Corpus＇ Juris Civilis.But in the end they did not escape the fate of declining.Therefore,the code value is worthy of our serious reflection.The civil code in China has insufficient theoretical preparation,and it has been endowed with too many expectations,which lead to the futility of China＇s civil law.So we should not have a uniform civil code,but take the open civil legislation system.
