This is an empirical research thesis. It focuses on the actuality and current of contemporary Chinese rural grassroots governance. By analyzing the event that the villagers have held back the public electric project's construction, we discuss the nature of"Fengshui"conception in the village and the rebounding of"Fengshui"having reflected the transitional situation of Chinese rural grassroots governance on the base, the governance about"Fengshui"in history, the culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance. Then the role of culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance opened out before us, while we meditate the effect of state-making in the new stage and the kickback because of ignoring the role of culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance.The author collects the empirical materials from Xin county in Henan province, while the author used the correlative research materials in Fujian province as the secondhand information. To understand and know the mechanism of Chinese rural grassroots governance, not only coming from the empirical materials which the author have investigated himself, but also benefits from the academic tradition and the ceaseless academic production's accumulating of Chinese rural region's study. Beside the development and inheriting of central China research's tradition. Based on the knowledge of different regional rural governance pattern, by ascending the governance instance in the history of the village and digging the excellent experience about rural governance before the scot reform and during the period of collectivize, the adumbration of culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance opened out stage by stage, and we also ascended the role's change of culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance and the situation's variance of contemporary rural governance.The analytical concept"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"is based on the concept"culture network of power"which have been advanced by Prasenjit Duara. In the view of the connotation of concept"culture network", the two concepts were communicated. But the connotation of"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"was more abundant, which breaks through the range of"culture network of power"which pay attention to the cultural fundament of power."culture network"has been put into a bigger space to discuss and analyze.This study will not bring forward a new theory, while want to deepen the past studies, so enhance the ability about grasping the problem in Chinese rural grassroots governance. By this study, we should see that Chinese rural grassroots governance have lent the resource of culture network, the stage which accept and use the resource of culture network, Chinese rural grassroots governance would have an excellent effect on"Fengshui"; by contraries, Chinese rural grassroots governance would be very hard, and can't gain effective purpose. Like the"Fengshui"instance in this study, without the accepting and using the resource of culture network, the problem can't be managed effectively."Fengshui"have been seen as a kind of marginal culture in a long time, but it is the important power to sustain the order of rural society and the safeguard to continue the internal value of the village."culture network"in Chinese rural grassroots governance have been put an important part by the government from modern history. On this base, state-making can be advanced continually; and with the help of it, the new state would not be involute. But the rural governance after scot reform had make the"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"drop out of the rural governance, then rural governance was in a difficult situation.The"Fengshui"instance is a evidence of this judgment.Comprehensive governance is the main characteristic of rural grassroots governance, which was true from the agent system. Agent system's local trait made the agent can bring into more extensive governance method and power network, can mobilize more resource and technique, but with their governmental ability's fading and discontentment about scot reform,"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"dropping out of the rural governance, at the same time the new governance people can't mobilize"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"."culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"was the unsubstantial part in the past interrelated studies, but it has an indispensability effect on the change and development of Chinese rural grassroots governance."culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance"is the entryway to Chinese rural grassroots governance,and also will be the reasonable factor to place a premium on the difficulty of Chinese rural grassroots governance, so we should pay more attention to"culture network in Chinese rural grassroots governance".After that ,we can grasp the rural society better, promote the work of state-making better.
