The relevance of evidence is the basic problem in the law of evidence,and the rules of evidence correlation are praised as gold rules by common law countries.Judging the relevance of evidence is a necessary procedure for the admissibility of evidence in the course of trial in common law countries,and plays an important role in identifying the scope and determination of specific evidence related to the facts of the case.Because of the difference between the legal tradition and the litigation mode,the rules of evidence correlation in our country are in a contradiction that is constantly concerned about in academic theory and neglected in legislative practice.From the aspect of theoretical research,the status of evidence correlation as one of the basic attributes of evidence is a commonly accepted view point of evidence law scholars in china.The concept of evidence correlation is the theoretical basis of the evidence system and belongs to the "ontology" problem in the law of evidence.From the point of view of legislative practice,although the relevant legal provisions of our country mention "relevance",they do not make clear provisions on the definition of the concept of evidence relevance,the specific criteria and methods of its judgment,and the relevant applicable procedures and rules.Although China is carrying out the reform of litigation mode,but now it is still the power-based litigation mode,the judge determines whether the evidence is relevant mainly based on their own experience common sense.Because of the lack and imperfection of the legislation of the evidence correlation rules,the parties know little about the content of evidence correlation,which makes it impossible to catch the center of gravity of the evidence when using evidence to prove the facts of the case,which makes the judge face a large number of evidence that still needs to be screened in the evidence to increase the burden of litigation and reduce the efficiency of litigation.On the other hand,because it is not possible to supervise the judge’s adoption of evidence,it is easy for the judge to abuse his discretion to the detriment of the parties’ right to sue.On the basis of the existing research,this paper analyzes the differences between the relevant provisions of the two legal systems of evidence correlation rules,puts forward its own insights on the relevant controversial issues,and puts forward some opinions and suggestions on improving the application procedure of evidence correlation in our country,in the light of our own legal system and litigation mode.In order to provide ideas for the legislation of the rules of evidence correlation.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,this article is divided into four parts:Part One: An overview of
