The legal literacy level of citizens is one of the standards to measure the civilization level of a country, a nation and a society. The legal literacy of college students in China will directly affect the current and future legal system construction in China and the coordinated development of the whole society.

The so-called literacy refers to the internalization and integration of knowledge acquired by people in regular practice and daily life, which plays an important role in a person's way of thinking, way of doing things and behavior habits. Having certain knowledge does not mean having corresponding literacy. Only through internalization and integration can it really have an impact on ideology, way of thinking, principles of doing things and behavior habits. In order to rise to a certain quality. Paying attention to college students' legal literacy is an urgent need to build a harmonious socialist society. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee adopted the "Proposal of the Central Committee on Formulating the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development", which clearly stated that it is necessary to "implement the basic strategy of governing the country according to law and comprehensively promote the construction of the legal system". Through legal education in universities, college students will have higher legal literacy and stronger awareness of legal civilization, which will have a positive and far-reaching impact on improving the legal awareness and legal literacy of all citizens, implementing the basic strategy of governing the country according to law, promoting the legal process in China and building a harmonious socialist society. However, in real life, we must also see many restrictive factors for the internalization of legal education into legal literacy. One is a highly utilitarian employment-oriented evaluation system. After the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, with the increasing employment pressure of college students, some colleges and universities have voluntarily lowered the teaching and examination standards of other soft quality courses, including law, in order to squeeze out more time for non-law majors to cope with various qualification examinations that are conducive to employment, which has greatly affected the improvement of students' legal literacy; For the legal education of law students, because they focus on the interpretation of legal provisions and case analysis, they ignore the study of philosophy, history, literature and natural science, which play a comprehensive and potential role in personal legal literacy. A considerable number of law students are very familiar with various legal provisions and cases, but their legal literacy is not high. The second is the repeated construction of the legal profession with obvious bubbles. In recent years, influenced by the expansion and merger of colleges and universities and the demand of talent market, the bubble tendency of law education is quite obvious, and many colleges and universities have hastily established law departments with weak teachers. Some so-called legal experts have never participated in legal practice and lack perceptual knowledge of the actual legal system. These schools do not have a deep legal origin, and the quality of law teachers is not comprehensive, which cannot guide students to internalize legal knowledge into profound legal literacy. The third is the imperfection of the legal environment in the real society. Because China is currently in the primary stage of socialism, the construction of democracy and legal system needs to be further improved, the seriousness of law in real social life is poor, and the phenomenon of lax enforcement and impunity still exists to a certain extent and scope. College students are in the mature stage of forming their world outlook, outlook on life and values, and the legal environment with strong ability to absorb external information, short reaction period and poor seriousness has also played a very obvious role in dispelling their still weak legal literacy.

Based on this, the main ways to improve college students' legal literacy are:

First of all, law education in colleges and universities should return to the standard of focusing on literacy. In other words, the education and personnel departments must strive to break the evaluation system of employment priority, scientifically locate the relationship between employment and learning, knowledge and literacy, and rebuild the evaluation system that pays equal attention to employment and learning, learning, knowledge and literacy, and literacy. Colleges and universities can't go with the flow. They should adhere to the independent academic spirit and school-running concept, eliminate the academic bubble, always put quality education in the first place, and attach great importance to the cultivation and improvement of all kinds of literacy, including law. In the arrangement of the content of legal education, we should pay more attention to the integration with the knowledge of humanities and natural disciplines such as philosophy and history, and pay more attention to the interpretation of the rule of law civilization and legal spirit from the perspective of the development law of human social civilization, so that the principle of the supremacy of law can be integrated into the world outlook and methodology of college students and internalized into a kind of accomplishment.

Secondly, legal civilization should cultivate behavior habits. When knowledge is internalized into literacy, it will go through a process of continuous accumulation and gradually forming behavior habits, from freedom to consciousness. Therefore, to improve legal literacy, we should attach importance to the construction of legal civilization, vigorously strengthen legal publicity, pay attention to drawing lessons from the world's advanced achievements of legal civilization and fine legal traditions, strive to create a beneficial legal civilization atmosphere, promote the mutual infiltration and integration of legal knowledge and legal civilization, and urge contemporary college students to develop thinking modes and behavior habits including legal literacy.

Thirdly, the legal environment should form ubiquitous external constraints. The formation of legal literacy is not closed and one-way, but open and interactive. The formation of college students' legal literacy is closely related to the legal environment of the whole society. Therefore, we must strive to optimize the legal environment, abide by the law, and earnestly safeguard the dignity of the law; Second, we should attach great importance to the operation of the law in real life, strictly enforce the law, prosecute those who violate the law, do not bow to privileges, and strive to eliminate judicial corruption. In this way, in real life, college students can truly feel the freedom within the legal authority and the external constraints of sanctions outside the law.

The key to implementing the policy of governing the country according to law and building a socialist market economic system lies in the general improvement of the legal literacy of the broad masses of the people. Leading cadres at all levels of the party are the concrete executors of the party's line, principles and policies and national laws and regulations, and are the main body of administration according to law. Therefore, to truly implement the strategy of governing the country and administering the country according to law, it is necessary for leading cadres at all levels to establish legal awareness, master necessary legal knowledge, be familiar with the application methods, constantly improve their legal literacy, and earnestly make decisions, administer and manage according to law.

Constantly improving legal literacy is a new requirement put forward by the CPC Central Committee for leading cadres at all levels to strengthen and improve the leadership of the Party under the new situation. In the new era, leading cadres are facing many changes in the aspects of leadership object, leadership content, leadership principles, leadership means, leadership objectives and leadership methods, but in the final analysis, it is the transformation of democracy and legal system construction from rule of man to rule of law. It is a new task for leading cadres at all levels to adapt to the requirements of the situation and realize the transformation of leadership style and ruling style. Turn the party's ideas into local laws and regulations through legal procedures and make them become the behavior norms of the people; Guided by the rule of law, coordinate legislation, administer according to law, and do a good job in justice, law popularization, supervision and legal services; Party organizations consciously operate within the scope prescribed by the Constitution and laws; The decision-making mode, rules of procedure and working methods in leadership work are gradually institutionalized and standardized, and so on. All these reflect the requirement that the Party should be good at using legal means to manage state affairs, and correspondingly put forward new requirements for the legal literacy of leading cadres at all levels.

Constantly improving legal literacy is an inevitable requirement for leading cadres in the task of economic development in the new period. Under the condition of market economy, both the spontaneous regulation of the law of value and the macro-control of the government need the regulation, guidance, restriction and guarantee of laws and regulations. Therefore, leading cadres at all levels should learn more about the laws and regulations of the socialist market economy, change their leadership and management methods that are not suitable for the market economy, perform their leadership duties of maintaining the market economic order according to law, learn to manage social and economic affairs by legal means, consciously use legal weapons to fight against illegal acts that undermine the market economic order, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of market participants according to law. After joining the WTO, we can expand foreign trade, introduce foreign capital and technology, carry out various forms of cooperation and exchanges, and handle foreign-related relations, all of which are inseparable from international laws, regulations, principles and practices. Leading cadres who do not have certain legal literacy are difficult to adapt to the requirements of market economy and the task of promoting economic development.

Constantly improving legal literacy is the essential requirement to improve people's democratic system. One of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way is to "improve socialist democracy and grass-roots democracy". The essence of democracy is that the people are masters of their own affairs. To better reflect that the people are the masters of the country, leading cadres at all levels are required to adhere to and improve the system of people's congresses, multi-party cooperation and political consultation, be good at giving play to the democratic participation and supervision role of organizations such as workers, young women and workers, expand grassroots democracy, and promote the autonomy of residents (villages). Doing these jobs well requires leading cadres to have higher legal literacy. At the same time, with the acceleration of the legal construction process, the leaders have also undergone fundamental changes. First, the emergence of more and more non-public economic entities makes it difficult for administrative orders to manage them, and they must rely on the guidance and regulation of laws. Second, the people's respect for power has been transformed into compliance with the law. Third, the performance of social relations of production has been manifested as legal relations to a certain extent, and the role of legal coordination and adjustment of interpersonal relations is becoming more and more important. If leading cadres can't improve their legal literacy, it will be difficult to meet the requirement of representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in the "Theory of Three Represents".

Constantly improving legal literacy is a realistic need to maintain social stability. Leading cadres shoulder important responsibilities in maintaining the overall situation of social stability. The level of leading cadres' legal literacy and their ability to use the law are directly related to whether they can be honest and fair, earnestly safeguard the fundamental interests of the people, and reduce and eliminate social unrest. It is directly related to whether we can correctly handle various contradictions and disputes and maintain social stability. Therefore, the continuous improvement of leading cadres' legal literacy can not only enhance their consciousness of obeying the law, being honest and clean, but also learn to use legal means to correctly handle various contradictions and problems in the process of reform and development, coordinate and handle various interest relations according to law, and maintain social stability and unity.

The legal literacy of leading cadres includes the conscious strengthening of legal consciousness, conscious study of legal provisions, conscious restraint of their own words and deeds, and conscious implementation of administration according to law. Leading cadres should constantly improve their legal literacy, and must do the following:

First, we must learn the law well and strive to master the legal knowledge needed to perform leadership duties. Learning the law well is the premise for leading cadres to continuously improve their own quality. Without sufficient legal knowledge as a guarantee, improving legal literacy can only become empty talk. Therefore, leading cadres must actively study and master all kinds of necessary legal knowledge.

Second, we should make good use of the law and be good at achieving leadership goals through legal channels. Making good use of law is an effective way for leading cadres to continuously improve their legal literacy. Leading cadres at all levels should conscientiously study and be familiar with the law, consciously act according to law in their daily work, and be good at achieving leadership goals through legal channels. First of all, we should pay special attention to prevent the opposition between the party's policies and laws, and give full play to the role of laws in managing state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings and social affairs. Secondly, we should be good at dealing with the relationship between "change" in the work of reform, development and stability and "determination" in the work of formulating laws and regulations, and better combine the long-term and short-term effects of the current legal system. Thirdly, when evaluating and interpreting laws, we should be good at historical, objective and dialectical observation and thinking, so as to make correct judgments and make the use of legal means and other means more scientific and reasonable.

Family comes first in a harmonious society

As the most basic cell of society, family has the most direct connection with each of us, and family harmony is the basis for ensuring social stability and career success. Therefore, building a harmonious society should start with building a harmonious family, which is the "practice place" and "forerunner" of harmony.

In real life, many disharmonious factors are caused by family disharmony. For example, disharmony and divorce between husband and wife lead to spiritual emptiness, imperfect personality formation and serious crimes of teenagers; For example, family members, especially husband and wife, have a bad relationship, resulting in various contradictions and disputes; For example, due to the education between parents and children, the generation gap affects the communication difficulties, mutual care and indifference of family members, which should arouse our sufficient vigilance.

A harmonious family should have its specific standards, which can be summarized as follows: family members are physically and mentally healthy, can care for each other, and can communicate and communicate with each other normally; Family members have high moral quality and skills to live in peace; Family children can receive education normally; Family income is on the rise, with the trend of sustainable development and so on. To meet the specific standards of this harmonious family, the most important thing is to improve the legal literacy of each family member and become a legal citizen who knows, abides by and uses the law. This is the most basic and important factor in building a harmonious family and society.

For today's most common family of three, the family relationship is mainly composed of marriage and the relationship between parents and children, and marriage is the key link. How to build a beautiful family full of vigor and vitality through marriage and ensure and promote the healthy and stable development of society is a very complicated social problem. The marriage system is an integral part of the social system, which develops with the development of the economic base and superstructure of the whole society. Before liberation, arranged marriages and polygamy were very common. The old marriage system inhibited the enthusiasm and creativity of the people, especially women, and became the main obstacle to China's economic development and social progress. After the founding of New China, the first law promulgated by China was the Marriage Law, which stipulated freedom of marriage, monogamy and equality between men and women as China's marriage system, and made a series of regulations accordingly. The establishment and implementation of the new marriage system provides a favorable legal weapon for breaking the feudal marriage system, and also provides a legal guarantee for the establishment of an equal, harmonious and civilized family in China.

According to the practical experience of China's marriage system and the new situation and problems in the field of marriage and family, China revised the second marriage law of 1980. The revised system and regulations have, to a certain extent, filled the legislative gaps in the past, enriched the content of marriage legislation, and further improved the legal system of marriage and family in China. However, behind the perfection of China's legislation, there is a hidden defect that law enforcement is out of line with law-abiding. The inequality of gender relations and the phenomenon of "domestic violence" have largely proved that law-abiding people have a weak legal awareness and ignore the purpose of marriage legislation. Therefore, strengthening legal publicity and education, popularizing legal knowledge and striving to create a harmonious environment of "harmonious family" are important links in building an equal and harmonious society. At the same time, for most women in a weak position, it is more important to be self-respecting, self-confident, self-reliant and self-reliant, to enhance the independent consciousness of safeguarding rights according to law and to enhance the ability of self-realization.

The relationship between parents and children is also an important part of family relations, including the rights and obligations of parents and minor children and parents and adult children. The rights and obligations between parents and adult children mainly include the rights and obligations of mutual support, the obligation of non-interference in the freedom of marriage and so on. The rights and obligations of parents and minor children are particularly important, because the evaluation criteria of minors' good and evil are chaotic, their desire to imitate is strong, and their legal concept is weak, which is easy to breed money worship, hedonism and extreme individualism. The most worrying thing is that juvenile delinquency is on the rise and tends to be younger and more violent. Although juvenile delinquency has subjective factors such as low culture, personality defect and extreme impulse, it is undeniable that the desalination of legal education and moral education, coupled with the influence of bad social atmosphere, is an extremely important reason. Therefore, the author believes that schools, society and families need to join hands to strengthen legal and moral education for minors, improve children's legal awareness, establish awareness of protecting their legitimate rights and interests, and create a good environment for children's growth.

The construction of a harmonious family not only needs to improve the legal literacy of family members, but also needs to strengthen the sense of responsibility and integrity among family members. These are the needs of safeguarding citizens' rights and interests in marriage and family, and also the needs of promoting the stability, civilization and progress of the whole society.
