Since China adopted the policy of reform and opening up, contemporary Chinese legal culture has experienced three historic leaps. With the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) establishing the fundamental policy of reform and opening up in December, 1978, the first leap of legal culture, marked by the opening of the 12th National Congress of CPC in 1982, was achieved. With Comrade Deng Xiaoping making the important speech during his South China inspection tour in 1992, the second leap, marked by the opening of the 14th National Congress of CPC in the October of the year, was achieved. With Comrade Jiang Zemin putting forth the important “Three Represents” thought in May, 2000, the third leap, marked by the opening of the 16th National Congress of CPC in November, 2002, was achieved. The basic line which goes through the three leaps is the establishment of the conception of ruling the country by law. The three leaps represent respectively the special significance of contemporary Chinese legal culture in different times.
