             sights from the Practice of ‘ Negotiation Governance’in DH Village

                                                        Zhang Min  Pan Zhong - Xian  Liang Yun - Bo  83


             〔 Abstract〕The foundation of village governance is not only a significant theoretical subject but also a crucial
             practical one. Village governance can only function effectively when built upon a certain foundation. Unlike the
             collectivization era,where village governance had institutionalized economic and organizational bases,the cur
             rent foundation for village governance remains unclear, posing considerable challenges to modern village govern
             ance practices. Therefore, exploring the basis of modern village governance is far from a trivial theoretical issue;

             it is an urgent task to identify the contemporary foundation of village governance. The practice of ‘ negotiation
             governance’in DH Village,Wenling City,Zhejiang Province demonstrates that,following changes in social
             structure,the bond connecting villagers and a certain form of villagers’participation are essential conditions for
             the successful operation of current village governance. They also constitute two key foundations for village gov

             ernance at this stage. This paper does not aim to propose a specific path to shape the contemporary foundation of
             village governance,but rather to highlight the issue itself of the current basis of modern village governance. In
             the context of grassroots governance modernization,the fundamental issues of village governance require further
             exploration by more researchers.

             From Simplification to Minimalism:The Value Transformation of Grassroots Social Governance A

             〔 Abstract〕The value orientation of grassroots social governance directly influences its direction. China’ s mod
             ernization encompasses the modernization of social governance at the grassroots level. The transformation of this
             value orientation is integral to achieving the modernization goals of grassroots social governance. The complex
             landscape of grassroots social governance during China’ s modernization necessitates a shift in value orientation

             from simplification to minimalism. Specifically, this transformation can be categorized into three main aspects: a
             shift from power expansion and administrative dominance to compound governance involving delegation and em
             powerment; a transition from top - down management to independent, flexible, and appropriate governance; and
             a move from prioritizing stability and efficiency to balanced governance that considers both development and or

             der. In the new phase of China’ s modernization, promoting a simplistic transformation of the value orientation of
             grassroots social governance requires fostering positive interactions among multiple grassroots entities, enhancing
             their governance capabilities,encouraging systematic adjustments to the grassroots governance environment, and
             nurturing the socio - cultural foundation for minimalist governance.
