Abstract:In recent years, the long-standing tradition of simple governance of life affairs has rapidly turned to bureaucratic governance. The model of simple governance is embedded governance and informal governance based on the publicness of production and the solidarity of relations, the use of favor and face, and the implementation of village community norms. With the de-agriculturalization of production activities, the disintegration of village community value norms, and the weakening of grassroots governance capacity, life affairs are gradually removed from production practice, and the actual performance of simple governance is not obvious. At the same time, to meet the people’s yearning for a better life and comprehensively provide public goods and life services to rural areas, grass-roots organizations must build an administration-led governance model to effectively implement policy tasks, refine policy objectives, strengthen inspection and acceptance, and strengthen incentive assessment. At present, the problem of life governance is that the strong incentive and hard examination of the general politicization leads to the replacement of the goal in the implementation process, which not only fosters the villagers’ notion of “wait, depend and ask for”, but also brings the problem of formalistic governance. Based on the attribute level of life affairs, the governance structure of life affairs is gathered, and it is found that county organizations should have independent governance space, not only at the “collective selection” level to formulate a reasonable assessment system, but also at the “operation level” to provide suitable social norms. To sum up, administrative guidance, empowerment and activation of grass-roots organizations is a sustainable and effective way out of life governance.
