Abstract：LIANG Shu-ming’s theory of Rural Reconstruction Movement and practice in the 1930s was a part of his efforts of “building a new Chinese nation”. Although it failed, it can provide us inspiration for rural revitalization and grass-roots governance in the current context. In the modern times, LIANG Shu-ming analyzed the Chinese culture with the spirit of Confucianism. On the basis of the comparison between Chinese and Western cultures, he concluded that a new type of countryside was the basis for a new Chinese nation, and attempted to apply Confucianism in modern governance in both theory and practice. The cornerstone of his theory is the belief that Chinese society is “ethics-centered and occupation-based”, and the key is to establish “new village covenants and new customs”. Through sorting out and reflecting on LIANG Shu-ming’s theory of rural construction, we find that it contains ideas and inspirations beneficial to rural revitalization and grass-roots governance, which we can take as reference.
