On December 2nd,2014,Zhang Gu, professor of Zhejiang University Guanghua Law School, gave us a lecture for more than two hours themed ＂the ‘property’ in private law＂，which was hosted by Zhu Xiaozhe, professor of SHUFE Law School and commented by Sun Weifei, an associate professor of Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law.

The lecture was divided into two parts. Firstly, Pro-Zhang showed his comprehension on the usage of “property”, which contains 9 understandings. Number one is the property on Liability law which is also called the Overall Property, collectivity of rights vest in a subject in terms of monetary value, which is made up of Movable Property, Unmovable Property, Jus in Rem, Jus AD Rem and so on. Number two is the property on economy which is composed of the rights and obligations on the value of dollar. Number three is Sondervermoegen, and the fourth is Res corporals on which Pro-Zhang gave us his understanding on the “assets” and “possession”. The fifth is the property on law of damages, Pro-Zhang compared the Article 106,subparagraphs 2 of the Principles of the Civil Law with the Article 2 of Tort Law. The sixth is Unjust Enrichment which can consults the Article 57 and 61 of the Principles of the Civil Law. The rest are the Rights of Property Claim when the defendant appears after the declaration of death, Property Ownership and the property about the ownership.

As Pro-Zhang said, Property, as an essential conception, has many meanings in the history of Justice about China, which enables us to distinguish clearly under different occasions and contexts.

Secondly, Pro-Sun Weifei made a short but profound comment which gave us a more clear impression on this lecture. Besides, Pro-Zhang made a more in-depth explanation of the problem raised by Pro-Sun.

Generally, what this fantastic lecture Pro-Zhang and Pro-Sun gave us was worth thinking. In addition, normative analysis and critical spirits must be brought into the way in which we solve problems, which was indispensable in the future.
