Abstract:Although we have reached a consensus that cultural legislation should be accelerated to improve the institutionalization of cultural construction, there are still arguments over the basic principles of cultural legislation, the connotation and extension of cultural legislation, the composition of cultural law and so on. By the inspection of the respective research approaches and research practice of cultural institution legislation and cultural industry legislation, we can find that the current research on cultural legislation becomes unbalanced in structure, the legality perspective and jurisprudence method are not common in the research on cultural legislation, and the whole top-level design of cultural institution has not been outlined so far.
