Title: Historical Evolution and Enlightenment of Systems of Countryside in China
Abstract: The systems of countryside in China originated from Chinese traditional rural systems and developed as the rural self-government in the period of Republic of China(1912-1949).With the accumulated experiences during the period of democratic revolution,the rural institutions have been established after the New China was founded.Traditional systems of countryside are not the formal political power at the grass-root level in its complete sense.In 1928,the rural self-government,based on the Organic Law of County and the county of the period of Republic of China,broke up the ancient administrative system which used the county as the lowest level,and made villages and towns legally become the state's autonomic administrative setups at the lowest level.After the founding of new China,the Constitution of the People's Republic of China in 1954 as the fundamental law formally established villages as the rural units of state power at the grass-roots level,and indicated the initial shape of the lower-level governmental systems in rural area of contemporary China which were completed by the Constitution of the People's Republic of China in 1982 after several changes.In the new period,the system of rural management reform should fully delve into the traditional heritage,sum up the practical reform experience of the rural management systems at the present stage and steadily and actively deepen the management system reform of the countyrside.
