摘要： 《民法典》编纂开启了中国法典化的新阶段，此后诸多法律部门和新兴领域都不同程度地展开了法典化的讨论。立足实践，法典编纂的几个重要问题亟待正本清源：《民法典》编纂的经验尚未全面系统总结，且对其他法典编纂特别是新兴领域法典编纂的借鉴价值有限；部门法立法数量的多寡与法典编纂之间不存在正相关关系；一个法律部门并不必然对应一部法典的编纂；法典编纂不一定是立法的最优解；法典编纂在巩固社会改革成效方面的可能贡献应慎重对待。就本质而言，法典只是法律发达史的外在表现形式之一，与单行立法并无绝对的价值优劣之分，立法发达的表现形式既可以是法典也可以是其他立法形式，且法典本身也存在迥异的表达方式。基于对法典本质的认识，科学的法典编纂不应当拘泥于法典的形式理性，而应当从形式理性和实质理性两方面展开。具体而言，科学的法典编纂须在合适的时间条件和契机下展开，并以厘清该法典所调整的社会关系为逻辑起点，以法律的内在体系化为法典编纂的目标。此外，科学的法典编纂应当与社会改革形成良性互动。

Abstract:
The codification of the Civil Code has ushered in a new stage of codification in China, with discussions on codification taking place to varying degrees across numerous legal sectors and emerging fields. Based on practical experience, several crucial issues in codification urgently require clarification. In essence, a code is merely one of the external manifestations in the history of legal development, with no absolute superiority or inferiority compared to single-act legislation. The advanced forms of legislation can manifest as either codification or other legislative forms, and codes themselves also exhibit diverse modes of expression. Based on an understanding of the essence of codes, scientific codification should not be confined to the formal rationality of codes but should unfold from both formal and substantive rationality perspectives. Specifically, scientific codification must be carried out under appropriate timing conditions and opportunities, taking the clarification of the social relations regulated by the code as the logical starting point and the internal systematization of laws as the goal of codification. Moreover, scientific codification should form a positive interaction with social reforms.
