General Preface Works of Research on Taxation Law Theories is another large research project on taxation law study presided by me after the publications of Textbooks Series of Fiscal Law Taxation Law,Fiscal Law Taxation Law Review and Rule Taxa- tion by Law in Modern China.Rather than demonstrating the latest achievements on the theoretical study of taxation law,this project focuses more on inspiring the schol- ars with innovative spirit showing themselves.While promulgating the knowledge of taxation laws,a group of professionals studying on taxation law theories is forming and developing. Taxation law is a rising,open and growing subject.It is rising because it has not so long a history as civil law or criminal law.It is open because it intersects with economics,management and other law subjects.It is growing because it has promis- ing future for its application and development.The taxpayers will be greatly awak- ened to their rights on the course of tax levying with China's entering into WTO and the popularization of the ideas of democracy and rule the tax by laws.The value of theoretical study on taxation law exists in scientifically finding a balance spot between the taxpayers and levier,which would help to realize a stable and harmonious taxa- tion system among the whole country with the direction of equity and justice ideas. For a long period of time,I had been dedicated to the teaching and studying of the taxation law.Many theses and monographs had been published and many nation- al research projects presided by me,which were all what I could do to the develop- ment and construction of the theoretical study on taxation law of China in my own power.However,we should not neglect that neither researching ability nor influen- tial achievements have been satisfactory.They could not match up the corresponding positions of taxation law and the theoretical study on it.I came to realize that any in- dividual or organization would never be able to better the situations.At present,the most urgent thing is to congregate all the researching resources around the country in conformity and cultivate a group of young but erudite scholars on taxation law. Thus,a relatively stable group of professionals would be organized to form the aca- demic ladders with reasonable structure.We could depend on the collective powers to

税法基础理论 study on some specified topics respectively.I think it is the only way to equalize the domestic study on taxation law with international study.Also by this way,the study on taxation law would continue generation by generation and never cease. Recent years,I have successively presided three projects including editing Text- books Series of Fiscal Law Taxation Law,Fiscal Law Taxation Law Review and Rule Taxation by Law in Modern China.During the process,the topics, methodologies and procedures of the theoretical study on taxation law had been grad- ually acquainted and accepted by the academic circles and the exchange and coopera- tion among them had also been greatly promoted.During the course,I not only ob- served that the new generation of scholars on taxation law study worked hard and cherish beautiful dream to the future,but also their hardships in research.Most of the young scholars have acquired PH.D.degrees or become the associate professor, and at least fluently master a foreign language.Their zealousness shall be more im- portant,and they are willing to devote their whole life to the career.It is under their expectation and encouragement that more and more excellent talents participate in the career.After my positive communications and constant consultations with Peking U- niversity Press,a publication agreement has finally come to for this Works in 2002. I sincerely express my gratitude to Peking University Press here for their sup- port to the theoretical study on taxation law in China.They would neither take risks to publish all the works nor pay the authors'remunerations according to market stan- dard if they were shortsighted to the academic project,which are far from a business activity and provide a good opportunity for the young scholars of taxation law study. It is their support that the editor in chief could select the works strictly according to the academic standard and the authors could dedicate to their research and composi- tion.I believe that many years later while reviewing the developing history of the theoretical study on taxation law in China,they will not only remember the scholars and their achievements,but also remember the contributions from Peking University Press.Here,on behalf of all the authors,I shall thank Mr.Yang Lifan,Vice Editor in Chief of Peking University Press,for his wisdom to and design for the Works,or they would never be published. Annually,3 to 5 books will be published to affiliate the Works.The contents of these books mainly concerns about philosophy of taxation law,history of taxation law,study on taxation law system,taxation law system,taxation law,taxation pro- cedure law,taxation income law,taxation expenditure law,domestic taxation law
