The term "civil law" and the basis of the law itself are derived originally from the law of ancient Rome, the jus civile. “大陆法”这个词语以及法律本身都是起源于古罗马法律&市民法。
In the present age, freedom meaning suffers some restrictions and weakness, but remains the prime important value in jus civile. 在当代,自由理念虽然受到了一定的限制和削弱,但在市民法中仍保持着最初的重要价值。
The value core of jus civile is freedom. 市民法之价值核心,即自由。
