Abstract:In order to boost the modernization of national governance system, all parts of China continue to innovate social governance methods, among which grid governance is one of typical models of the application of modern governance technology to urban-rural community governance, however, under urban-rural dual structure of China, there is significant difference in governance resources and governance demand between urban and rural areas, the directly embedding of the grid governance suitable for urban communities into the governance system of villages will bring conflict between governance technology and governance basis. In the practice of promoting grid governance, the Q Village of Chengdu has the problems such as formalism and redundancy and so on, which indicates that grid governance is difficult to be used in the villages (i.e., externalism). Villagers autonomy is the best suitable governance method in traditional China’s rural society, which is determined by the acquaintance society with friendly neighbors, by the life logic with neighbors helping each other, by the social structure with balance and stability, by the public relation in a village with endogenous autonomy and so on. In order to apply modern governance technologies such as grid governance to village governance, the governments must stick to the autonomy attribute of rural governance, promote the endogenicity of governance technologies, realize the integration between governance technology and villagers autonomy, and collaboratively boost the modernization of rural governance and rural society.
