The Shanghai Research Institute should fully leverage the role of a new type of think tank with Chinese characteristics to promote the formation of an independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences, including law.

The discourse system of Chinese characteristic law is based on the experience and practice of the rule of law in China, and is composed of many theories and beliefs about law, rule of law, and legal theory, including a theoretical system, value system, and expression system. Zhang Wenxian, member of the Party Group and Director of the Academic Committee of the China Law Society, pointed out that the discourse system of Chinese law, with specific concepts, categories, and terms, concentrates and succinctly expresses China's legal views, legal views, and legal theory views on the new journey of comprehensively governing the country by law and building a rule of law China. The discourse system of law bears the grand theoretical aspiration of spreading legal truth to the world, defending legal truth, and upholding the dignity of the rule of law. What key issues should we pay attention to in promoting the construction of the legal discourse system? He believes that one is the main feature of the discourse system of law. The discourse system of law is an organic unity of political and academic aspects. The discourse system of law must have a clear political stance, strong theoretical strength, and profound social influence; The second is the basic composition and main carrier of the legal discourse system, including three subsystems: legal discourse system, rule of law discourse system, and legal discourse system; The third is the three major sources of China's legal discourse system, namely Marxist legal theory, traditional Chinese legal culture, and excellent Western legal theory; The fourth is the theoretical core and support of the discourse system of legal science in the new era.The fifth is the important significance of accelerating the construction of an independent discourse system in Chinese legal science. Building a Chinese legal discourse system is conducive to occupying the high ground of the world legal discourse system and mastering the initiative of discourse.

It should be based on China's history, culture, and national conditions, and form the academic character of Chinese environmental law.
