The21st century is the era of social development and changes, during which rural development is thepriority. The party and state have referred higher goals of rural development which state that rural areasshould move towards modernization, marketization, informatization, and industrialization. With thedevelopment of economy, the potential of social development has been explored and the ability ofcollectivity and individual has been highlighted, so that researches of rural society are endless. Currently,community has been rural basic organization as well as important reform and institution innovation of themanagement style. However, the rationality and legality of rural areas heading to community constructionis a blank, so it makes community construction being the main position of rural development and thefeasibility of rural areas and community’s combination as important topics when comes to rural research.Rural development was deeply influenced by history and the environment of reality and the importantturning point and the beginning of Chinese society started from the beginning of the modernization drive,since when rural areas have been changed deeply. After analyzing the rural development in differentperiods, looking back on the course, knowing the characteristics and laws, finding new ways of ruralcommunity development, the article provides reasonable thinking and institution.We know that the static analysis and study of things in one aspect will be insufficient and lack ofresearch, so the paper grasps the historical context of rural community through analyzing its diachronic andsynchronic based on the changes of rural community. Community has been a way of modern society’sdevelopment, and reflects the combination of people living and producing in a certain period and certainregions. Community has its own logical way to develop, and community’s social trends and dominantposition become the attributes of its construction, including custom and legal community. The reason whyrural community is emphasized is that localism and factors in maintaining the relationship between theindividual and society are seek, and communication and trust between individuals as well as individual andcommunity are valued based on countryside, so the development of rural society goes with rural society aswell. Changes of our country’s rural community are a process from traditional community to moderncommunity. After more than a century’s development, rural various social and power relations are transformed. Finally, under the lead of the government, the power of community is maximally brought intoplay, and the household producing and living pattern transform into new rural community life and servicecommunity which highlight their service functions. According to the unique advantages of rural communityconstruction, we can clearly see that community construction is a way of depending on institution from topto downside. Institution change in late Qing Dynasty caused structural changes in rural society; The Baojiasystem made the fusion of local autonomy and traditional autonomy rupture; The Communist Party ofChina transformed the village in political movement under the great ideal of socialism institution; Since thereform and opening up, the party and state went ahead with the times, civilized rural and reformed China,however community trust and identity crisis became barricades of rural community construction. Despitecontradictions, grass-root social organization and management is not stagnated and community is movingtoward multi-center governance and socialization. The source causing these problems is the way ofconstruction is single which can be made up by taking bottom-up way to build a cultural identity. Anideological foundation is provided for rural community through integrating cultural identity and ruralcommunity organically, analyzing the necessity of the rural community from institution-rely to culturalidentity; The organizational foundation is provided for rural community construction through promotingcommunity service; and the political basis is provided for rural community development throughparticipating in community governance.
