In this paper, grass-roots governments refer to township (town) people's governments of five-tier government structure in our country. The quality of their public administration is directly related to the Government's image and social stability and development. If they act in strict accordance with the law and govern town with morality, it's no doubt it will greatly improve the stability of rural society, economic and cultural development, as well as the civilization in rural areas. There is no stability in China if there is no stability in the rural areas, and there is no development in its real sense in China if there is no development in rural areas of China. In order to achieve stability and development in rural areas, it is necessary for grass-roots governments to combine the rule by law with the rule by virtue.According to the survey, the rule-of-law levels of grass-roots governments are not high at present, so do the rule-of-virtue levels. Based on the deficiencies of grass-roots governments, this paper analyzes the loss of morality and the loss of the spirit of law. The loss of morality has five aspects: the loss of principle, the loss of Creditability, the worship of money, the distortion of self-respect, the loss of faith.The spirit of law has nine aspects, specific as follows: Consciousness disorders, corruption out of control, system failures; distortion of democracy, improper examination; invalid rules, the inbalance between rights and duties; job imbalance; others such as lack of financial transparency and so on.
