Characteristics and causes of rural grass-roots governance in China in the imperial era

Design the grass-roots governance based on the historical villages in China.

Grass-roots governance refers to the history of rural development in China. This is a governance model based on village organizations and families.

Governance transition, a rural area in China, is the necessity for traditional countries to maintain social operation at the minimum cost. Since the establishment of the county system, the population of the empire has been increasing, but the number of county systems has remained relatively stable. The purpose of the transformation of rural governance mode is to control the grassroots and obtain tax revenue at the minimum cost, but in fact it further reduces the efficiency of the central dynasty in obtaining tax revenue.
