Rural social space research is an important sociological research, is also a focus of the new rural building. China's rural society and life of the peasants was characterized as "atoms" at present which refers to the trend of the public space in rural areas is shrinking. Rural shrinkage of the public space is an important manifestation of public entertainment lifestyle farmers gradually reduced through entertainment, as well as build up the narrow circle. Discussion on rural public space, not only help us to understand the life of the peasants status, mental state, as well as the mentality of social groups, but also help us to understand China's grass-roots social change operation, and provide a new perspective logic.There were many dissertation on public space in academic community, such as Habermas's capitalist discourse and public space research, Huangzongzhi exposited the "third areas" between state and society. Giddens discussed this issue of the view that "the decline of the community in general not only to the deterioration of the landmark, it is also for the signs of the public space disappearance." This linked the public space to certain geographical places, and studied the relationship on the geography in sociology.Chinese scholars linked the public space to the rural community, and treated it as an important feature of rural society to exposit and research. The public space is no longer academic term or abstract concept, but transform to the events and scenes of rural life. For example, Wang Chunguang's study of autonomy of the villagers, Cao Hailin exposited the endogenous and exogenous order of villages. Wang Ling studied rural public life.These studies are discussed the importance of public space, and involved in all aspects of a certain depth. We can see that there are two insufficiencies: (1) Early research was focus on pure description, given the many objectivities data, rather than to carry out doctrinal analysis. (2) The late study mainly concerned impact of the village culture and villages polity on the public space, which were more in-depth study, but has a single trend, mainly targeted at the village and the villagers political autonomy. However, the rural culture of the public space, particularly concerned little in entertainment and leisure of rural social. This paper is put that as a starting point, discuss the evolution of public space through analysis the leisure of J village.After the founding, the leisure of J village have changed a lot which can be divided into three age: (1) Plaza leisure times, the important feature of that times reflected state power and political control of the entertainment in the villages. At that moment, the public space is characterized by a high degree of overlap of the public space and polity. The inertia of the system has continued to the disintegration of the collective life of "collective life times." However, the consequences of this system are increased the actual contact between people, and created a media contacts for entertainment circle. (2) teahouse (Mahjong Museum) leisure time: the freedom of individuals and highlights the shrinking public space. This era is characterized by the entertainment circle reduce contacts with the sharp narrowing, four fixed portfolio licensing Friends relations as a major circles. The majority of the people to participate in collective activities disappeared. (3) family entertainment era: the involvement of cable television make further digestion public space, personal television, the networks rely on these modern media has become an important means of entertainment, and other individuals for the common people in the entertainment shorten the time. And the public has become a term they are not related.Through this process of review, we can see that gradually entertainment is the single highlight of the rural public space while the public space is increasingly shrinking to the entertainment circle of contacts to the negative role played by the regional transfer and the change , in the social life of these two often are intertwined, they are also among a constitutive relations. At the same time that they also embody a common problem, that is, to withdraw from the rural community in the country at the same time to give up on the importance of public input, for the building of rural public input and inadequate support, leading to a low level both in the vicious circle. Therefore countries to opt out of private space should be given to rural areas to the corresponding public policies, resources, support and help to restore the traditions and faults, and this is also building a socialist harmonious society an indispensable link.
