Mature civic culture is not only an important symbol of a modern nation, but also an important measure of national yardstick of modernization. The formation of civic culture all is on education. Modern civic education consists of three main aspects: the civic legal education, civic political education and civic moral education. Civic education, including training of national citizens, the legal system's identity, establish the rights and obligations of the legal concept of unity, civic awareness of the law, establish the legal citizens of faith and other aspects. Legal education in the civic education plays an important role. History has shown that legal education provides a subjective consciousness, sense of equality, contract concepts, democratic ideas, the concept of rights and obligations such as the core of civic education. Legal education provides an integral part of building a civic culture and value the important cultural foundation support.This paper consists of five chapters and layer away with demonstrates the value and role of legal education in civic education.The development of the first chapter, study on the framework from the concept of citizenship and civic education. It elaborates the concept of citizenship from the law, ethics and political science aspects. Through outlines the development of the west and our citizen the process, describing the basic concept of the citizen is the most extensive form of address, equality between citizens, a representative of the individual identity of citizens and citizens reflects the relationship between the individual and the state's citizens.

Since reform and opening, the main body of our citizens has become increasingly prominent, the concept of democracy and the rule of law, rights awareness and sense of participation are improved. But our country is a lack of civic and civil culture traditions. Level as the concept, patriarchal ethics, power worship, the official sense of fear still very prevalent in social life, and civic society to adapt the right consciousness, awareness of political participation, freedom equality, democracy and legal awareness, social trust and other civic spirit is very scarcity, our country still lacks a sufficient idea of maintaining the culture of civil society. The lack of citizenship, can be summarized as the shrinking body of citizens of that civil rights awareness, sense of participation, equality, sense of responsibility and obligation to the lack of ideas. We think this is the spirit of the lack of a rational legal system and the concentrated expression of faith in the law. But the socialist spiritual civilization in our country at this stage as the main orientation of ideological and political education can not provide a full range of civic education. Standing ideological and political education is mainly the ruling party, the state power and its corresponding position on the political principles to inculcate the recipients of a way to strengthen the political and ideological consciousness. Harsh to say that the ideological and political education is the passive education, closer to the subjects of education, and civic education is a subject of open education. Therefore, civic education is the transition point to the ideological and political education.The third chapter describes the meaning of civil legal literacy and social functions.
