刑事证据规则是指刑事诉讼中收集、审查、判断证据所运用的各种规范和准则，其在发现事实真相、保障诉讼参与人权利、限制裁判者自由裁量权和维护特定社会关系等方面均具有重要意义。然而，我国的刑事证据规则尚处于起步阶段：刑事证据规则的立法过于分散且权威性较低，不同刑事证据规则获得的立法资源不均衡，刑事证据规则的种类和内容也并不完整。在即将迎来的《刑事诉讼法》第四次修改中，刑事证据规则的修改应以现代化、本土化为方向，一方面完善现行法中有关证据调查规则、证据可采性规则和证据审查判断规则的内容，并将其吸收、凝练，写入《刑事诉讼法》;另一方面对传闻证据规则、品格证据规则等国外较为成熟的刑事证据规则加以借鉴。

Criminal rules of evidence refer to the various norms and guidelines used in the investigation, examination and judgment of evidence in criminal procedures, which are of great significance in discovering the truth, protecting the rights of participants in the proceedings, limiting the discretion of the adjudicator and safeguarding specific social relations. However, China's criminal rules of evidence are still in their infancy: the legislation on criminal rules of evidence is too decentralized and less authoritative, different criminal rules of evidence receive uneven legislative resources, and the types and contents of criminal rules of evidence are not complete. In the upcoming fourth revision of the Criminal Procedure Law(CPL), the revision of criminal rules of evidence should be localized and modernized. On one hand, the rules of evidence in the current law, including the rules on investigation of evidence, rules on admissibility of evidence and rules on examination and judgment of evidence, should be modified and absorbed into the CPL. On the other hand, more mature foreign criminal rules of evidence, such as the rules of hearsay evidence and the rules of character evidence, should also be introduced into the CPL.
