On the 23rd of February, Tang Yanan, Chief Editor of the Theory and Culture Department at the People's Court News and Media Agency, graced the 45th lecture of the BNU Zhuhai Lecture Series with her presence. She delivered an enlightening lecture on "Typological Thinking in Criminal Law" to a diverse audience of undergraduates, graduates, and doctoral candidates at BNU Zhuhai. The purpose of her discourse was to facilitate a deeper comprehension of the cognitive processes inherent in criminal law, to delve into the methodologies of legal inquiry, and to bolster the students' proficiency in analyzing and resolving legal dilemmas.

Tang Yanan dissected two legal cases, affording the students a profound insight into the application of typological thinking in addressing real-world issues. She meticulously elucidated the approach to employing typological methods in handling cases that, on the surface, may appear analogous but fundamentally differ in nature. The interactive segment of the lecture was marked by a spirited participation from the students, creating an engaging and vibrant atmosphere.

Under the guidance of Tang Yanan, the students actively participated in the discussion, fully utilized divergent thinking, and expressed their own opinions from the perspectives of case facts, legal application, etc. Tang Yanan highly affirmed the enthusiastic speeches of the students and praised their solid legal foundation and rigorous legal thinking. Subsequently, Tang Yanan showed the students the criminal law provisions involved in 8 types of financial crimes and compared them, leading to the core theme of this lecture, "Typological Thinking in Criminal Law".

In the field of legal practice, typological thinking is considered the key to efficiently handling complex legal issues. It classifies, summarizes, and compares the facts of the case with legal provisions to achieve rapid positioning and accurate judgment of the case. Tang Yanan demonstrated to students the application and importance of typological thinking in criminal law with his rich practical experience and profound theoretical foundation in law.

As the lecture drew to a close, the event's host, Professor Jia Jidong of the Law School at Beijing Normal University, extended thanks to Tang Yanan for the enriching lecture. Professor Jia appraised the lecture as not only a precious educational experience for the students at the Law School but also a significant contribution to the advancement of criminal law education and its practical application. By delving into the realm of typological thinking, the students were able to achieve a more profound grasp of criminal law, thereby establishing a solid cornerstone for their impending legal professions.

This interactive lecture has trained students' legal thinking and stimulated their interest in creative learning. After class, some students are still discussing with each other.
