Abstract：With the change of national institutions and rural communities, everyday life governance is becoming the focus of policy-making and academic research of rural governance in the new era. Everyday life governance is an important tradition and approach in China's rural governance. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's rural governance has gone through the eras of “people's communes”, “township government and villager autonomy”, and “integration of autonomy, governing by law, and governing by virtue”. The rural governance in different eras has different governance bodies, governance targets, and governance goals, and has different governance characteristics and effects. In the era of people's communes, the communes had governmental, political, and economic functions. This was the institutional basis of rural governance at that time, which nationalized rural governance, and collectivized and politicalized living and working practices of farmers. In the era when the township organs exercise political, administrative, economic and other management powers on behalf of the state and villagers implement autonomous management of their daily issues in rural areas, the new institutional structure of “separating community governance from government administration” led to the “marketization” of rural governance over life issues, resulting in de-administration, individualization, and consumerization of farmers' daily life. In the era of “governing by law and virtue, and villager autonomy”, the “integration of government administration and community management” has become the new institutional basis for rural governance, making the management of life issues a significant part of rural governance. With the growing influence of administrative power and inadequate development of social organs, we should be wary of “over-administration” in rural life governance to prevent the “alienation” in the management of life issues. At the same time, we should improve villagers' capacity of managing life issues on their own, give full play to the role of democracy in promoting people's livelihood, and enhance the efficiency of life governance.
