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 as follows: First, the legal education in colleges and universities should return to the literacy-oriented standard. 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.
