Legal analysis
The primary criterion for defining a person with limited capacity for civil conduct in laws and regulations is age, because a person's age is directly related to his intellectual development and mental development. From the concept of civil capacity, it can be seen that the capacity of a natural person is his qualification to conduct effective legal acts independently, and the acquisition of this qualification is mainly determined by the cognitive ability of a natural person, and age is the most basic condition for a natural person to acquire cognitive ability. Whether a natural person can reasonably understand the nature and consequences of his behavior is the key to judge whether his spirit is healthy or not. If he can't understand the legal consequences of his behavior at that moment, even if his behavior is appropriate and fair, even if the other party has no reason to think that the actor has any mental disorder, then his behavior can be revoked according to law. The natural person's meaning ability is mainly influenced by the natural person's physiological conditions. Such as age, intellectual development and mental state, have a direct impact on the level of natural people's ability to mean. Legally, children under the age of eight belong to people without civil capacity, and the age limit of people without civil capacity refers to minors under the age of eight and adults who can't recognize their own behavior. Civil capacity can be divided into three categories: complete civil capacity, limited civil capacity and no civil capacity. Minors under the age of eight and mental patients without capacity for civil conduct cannot identify their own behavior, and their legal representatives shall represent them in civil activities.
