摘要: 北洋政府时期民法的体系化,集中体现在围绕《大清民律草案》所开展的民法典编纂过程当中。北洋政府时期尽管在事实上确立了“法律—习惯—条理”的民事法源适用次序,但由于缺少体系化的成文法,结果仍导致司法实践中存在法源范围不明、法官主观性过大、缺乏民法上位价值的统一指导等问题。为此,在北洋时期,北洋政府和与其对峙的南方政权曾数次依托《大清民律草案》进行民法体系化,其方式包括暂行适用《大清民律草案》、意图使该草案成为生效法律,以及借助该草案体例进行民事判例汇编等。《民国民律草案》和《民国民法典》的编纂计划均萌生于此过程中,这两部法律文件亦促进了民法体系化。利用民法典的编纂以实现民法体系化,反映了法典中心主义,其对当代中国民法体系建设仍有影响。

Abstract: The systematic process of civil law during the Beiyang period is mainly reflected in the compilation of Civil Code based on the Draft Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty.During the Beiyang period, although the Supreme Court established the order of application of civil laws in practice with its judicial power, the lack of a systematic civil law still led to problems in judicial practice, such as unclear scope of legal sources, excessive subjectivity of judges, and a lack of unified guidance on the superior value of civil law.For this reason, the northern and southern regimes during the Beiyang period carried out several civil law systematization projects based on the systematic structure of the Draft Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty. These methods included the provisional application of the Draft Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty, making it effective through legislative procedures, and using the format of this draft to compile civil precedents by judicial organs.The plan of the compilation of the Draft Civil Code of the Republic of China and the Civil Code of the Republic of China also emerged during the legislative process of the Draft Civil Code of the Qing Dynasty.Both legal documents played an important role in the final completion of the Republic of China's civil law system.The compilation of the Civil Code to achieve the systematization of civil law reflects Code Centrism, which still has an impact on the construction of the contemporary Chinese civil law system.
