The role and awareness of the law are recognized and respected in society, which in turn promotes the process of modernizing the legal system.

3.Influence of external interactions:

International exchanges have played a positive role in the modernization of China's legal system. Economic cooperation, cultural exchanges, and participation in international organizations with other countries have enabled China's legal system to be influenced and referenced by international laws and standards.

These motive forces interact with each other and promote each other, promoting the process of modernizing China's legal system.

The modernization of the legal system is an important part of the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is of great significance to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

I. The Theoretical Status of the Socialist Concept of Rule of Law. The concept of socialist rule of law is the latest theoretical achievement of combining the Marxist concept of law with the practice of socialist rule of law in China, an important part of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the concrete embodiment of the scientific outlook on development in the field of rule of law, the conceptual basis of the Communist Party of China's ideology of governing according to law, the core and soul of the legal consciousness of the whole society, the common guiding ideology of all links in the construction of the rule of law, and the common theoretical principle of the ideology of the rule of law. Its ideological significance has a strong sense of timeliness.

II. The Significance of the Concept of Socialist Rule of Law to Socialist Legal Awareness. From low to high, social legal awareness is divided into five levels: civic awareness, legal concept, rule of law concept, rule of law spirit and rule of law culture.

The concept of socialist rule of law has special guiding and guiding significance for the formation of socialist legal consciousness. The issue of legal consciousness to be solved is a problem of direction, fundamentality, value, purpose, purpose, principle, and universality. The socialist concept of the rule of law determines the attributes of civic consciousness, the concept of the legal system, the spirit of the rule of law, and the culture of the rule of law, and also stipulates their content.

It is in this sense that the concept of socialist rule of law is the core and essence of socialist legal consciousness.

III. The Significance of the Concept of Socialist Rule of Law to the Socialist Legal System. Any system design is inseparable from the three elements of the system: guiding ideology, value orientation and basic principles. The concept of socialist rule of law is precisely the unity of the combination of the three.

It is an ideological guide for the creation and development of the socialist legal system.

IV. The significance of the concept of socialist rule of law to the implementation of the law. After the basic formation of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, the main contradiction in China's construction of a socialist country under the rule of law will shift from the inability to rely on the law to the effective implementation of the law. The core links in this are strict law enforcement, judicial impartiality, universal observance of the law, and effective supervision, and the ruling party's rule of law is the fundamental and fundamental guarantee for the realization of these links.

The concept of socialist rule of law plays the role of conceptual and ideological guarantee for all aspects of the above-mentioned rule of law practice, and also plays the role of standard and value scale. In this sense, the concept of socialist rule of law is the political principle and guiding principle of political and legal work.

V. The significance of the concept of socialist rule of law to legal ideology. Law is an important part of the superstructure, and jurisprudence is an important part of the ideology in the superstructure, which can also be called legal ideology. The significance of the concept of socialist rule of law to jurisprudence is manifested in three aspects:

First, it points out the direction for the development of jurisprudence; Second, it provides a standard for the cultivation of legal talents; Third, it provides an aim and purpose for the study of legal theory.

The first is the internal legal modernization model.

The second is the outward-looking legal modernization model.

The third is the hybrid legal modernization model.

Fourth, it is a diversified and unified model of the legal modernization model.

Summary. From the perspective of the legal profession, the following opportunities and challenges will arise in the development process of Chinese-style modernization:

1.Improvement of the legal system: With the advancement of Chinese-style modernization, the construction of the rule of law has become one of the important goals of national development.

Therefore, the improvement of the legal system will be an important opportunity in the next few years. This includes strengthening the work of legislation, adjudication, and law enforcement, and enhancing judicial fairness and efficiency.

From the perspective of the legal profession, what opportunities and challenges will arise in the development process of Chinese-style modernization?

From the perspective of the legal profession, the following opportunities and challenges will arise in the development process of Chinese-style modernization: Opportunities: 1

Improvement of the legal system: With the advancement of Chinese-style modernization, the construction of the rule of law has become one of the important goals of national development. Therefore, the improvement of the legal system will be an important opportunity in the next few years.

This includes strengthening the work of legislation, adjudication, and law enforcement, and improving the fairness and efficiency of the judiciary.

2.International exchanges and cooperation: The development of Chinese-style modernization requires the absorption of the experience and technology of international pioneers, and at the same time, it also requires extensive cooperation with the international community.

As the concept of the rule of law gradually takes root in China, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to legal issues and hope that they can have a certain level of legal literacy. This provides an opportunity to engage in legal education and popularize legal knowledge.

Challenge:1Changes in the concept of the legal system:

Chinese modernization requires the establishment of a legal system that meets the requirements of a market economy and democratic politics, but this requires a large number of changes in the concept of the legal system. This is a long and difficult process that requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society and individuals. 2.

Shortage of legal talent: At present, the number of legal talents in China is insufficient, and the quality is uneven. In order to meet the needs of the development of Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to strengthen legal education and training and improve the quality of legal professionals.

3.Construction of the rule of law environment: In the process of Chinese-style modernization, there are still problems such as the idea of the official standard and power rent-seeking in some places, which has brought challenges to the construction of the rule of law environment.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen anti-corruption work, promote judicial fairness, and improve the overall level of the rule of law environment.

The modernization of the legal system is a process of transformation from a traditional society ruled by man to a modern society governed by the rule of law. The Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee proposed to take economic construction as the central task and vigorously strengthen the building of democracy and the legal system, marking that China's modernization of the legal system has taken a new step forward in inheriting the tradition of people with lofty ideals in modern China. However, the modernization of China's legal system is faced with the internal and external pressures of economic development, the burden of traditional rule by man, and the problem of social stability faced by developing countries in the initial stage of modernization, so that this process has a historical trajectory different from that of the West.

This is the dominant nature of the development mode, the stage of target selection, the duality of value orientation, and the non-coordination in the process of realizing the modernization of the legal system. Understanding these characteristics is not only for the purpose of summarizing history, but more importantly, to understand China's national conditions. China's modernization of the legal system, like its economic construction, respects tradition without being confined to tradition, learns from foreign countries, and does not copy the West.

This is the road we have traveled, and it is the road we will continue to walk.
