The study reports on China’s legislation regarding intangible cultural heritage. It starts with the review of legislation accomplishments achieved in the past years during which China’s central government attached great attentions to the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. China has been active in international cooperation and made its contribution to the enforcement of five international conventions. Various laws and regulations including The Law for Protecting the Intangible Cultural Heritage，and many administrative regulations have been enacted by different institutions ranging from CPC central committee，the standing committee of National People’s Congress，the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to the local People’s Congress and government. Nevertheless，the legal system is not perfect and needs to be improved. The study claims that the future legislation related to the intangible cultural heritage should focus on the following problems：the clarification of tort liability，the lack in public interest litigation system，the intellectual property right. Besides，the local legislation should be strengthened.
