Abstract：

The interstellar medium is magnetized and turbulent. Radio polarization observation provides an important tool to study its properties. In this talk, I will present new polarization observations of supernova remnants and Galactic diffuse medium with FAST and other telescopes. I will then briefly introduce our plan to measure multi-scale magnetic field in the university with SKA pathfinders and future SKA.
