A　sound　legal　and　regulatory　system　and　its　supporting　technical　norms　are　the　basis　and　guarantee　of　soil　quality　protection　and　pollution　prevention.　Drawing　on　advanced　soil　pollution　prevention　technologies　and　management　experience　has　important　guiding　significance　for　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　work　in　China.　The　characteristics　of　laws,　regulations　and　technical　norms　of　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　in　developed　countries　and　China　were　expounded　comprehensively　and　systematically.　The　relevant　foreign　advanced　experience　was　summarized.　The　problems　and　challenges　of　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　in　China　were　analyzed,　and　some　countermeasures　and　suggestions　for　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　in　China　were　put　forward.　Although　China　had　formed　a　relatively　complete　legal　and　regulatory　system　with　soil　risk　management　and　control　as　the　core　and　with　the　principle　of　＂prevention　first　and　combining　with　treatment＂,　covering　soil　pollution　prevention,　investigation　and　monitoring,　risk　assessment　and　control,　remediation　and　treatment,　development　and　reuse,　etc.,　the　legal　details　at　each　stage　still　needed　to　be　improved,　and　there　is　a　lack　of　special　legislation　for　different　types　of　contaminated　sites.　Therefore,　the　improvement　of　relevant　laws　and　regulations　on　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　should　be　speeded　up.　In　addition,　some　of　the　current　technical　standards　for　soil　pollution　prevention　and　control　in　China　were　blank　or　lagging　behind,　which　could　no　longer　meet　the　practical　needs　of　soil　environmental　management,　and　need　to　be　expanded　and　tightened　continuously.　©　2023　Editorial　Board　Journal　of　Environmental　Engineering　Technology.
