A Beautiful Life, Hand in Hand with the Civil Code

Civil Code: May 28, 2024, marks the fourth anniversary of the promulgation of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China. This May also sees the launch of China’s fourth “Civil Code Publicity Month,” with the theme “A Better Life—Accompanied by the Civil Code.”

What is the Civil Code?

The Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China is known as the “encyclopedia of social life.” It is the first law in the history of New China to be named a code, occupies a foundational position within the legal system, and serves as the basic law of the market economy.

What are the contents of the Civil Code?

The Civil Code comprises seven parts: General Provisions, Property Rights, Contracts, Personality Rights, Marriage and Family, Inheritance, and Tort Liability, along with Supplementary Provisions, totaling 84 chapters and 1,260 articles, with a combined word count of over 100,000 characters.
The structure of the Code exhibits several distinctive features: first, it adheres to the principle of integrating civil and commercial law; second, it establishes a separate section on personality rights; third, it does not provide for an independent section on obligations; fourth, it does not establish an independent section on intellectual property; and fifth, it creates a distinct section on tort liability.
