“乡土”与“契约”:中国式现代化视域下的乡村社会治理新格局

"Countryside"and"Contract":A New Pattern of Rural Social Governance from the Perspective of Chinese Modernization

乡村是国家之根基,乡村兴则国家兴。象征传统治理的“乡土”与现代治理的“契约”的强弱对比反映着乡村社会治理格局的变革,乡土性塑造了传统乡村社会的“强乡土弱契约”治理格局,差序格局和社会继替构成了传统治理格局的运行机理。社会改革重塑乡村社会面貌,法治秩序的建立与人情秩序的瓦解促使社会治理转向“弱乡土强契约”格局。乡村治理现代化是中国式现代化的重要目标,重塑和回归乡村社会的乡土本色,构建乡村社会治理共同体,实现礼法共治的“强乡土强契约”新格局,符合中国式现代化的本质要求,对于充分发挥乡村社会现代化推动中国式现代化的深厚基础性力量和磅礴创新性伟力具有重要意义。

The rural society is the foundation of the country,whose prosperity will bring about the prosperity of the whole country.The replacement of strength and weakness between the traditional rural governance and the modern"contract"governance reflects the changes in the rural social governance.The traditional"strong countryside with week binding of contract"and the difference sequence pattern and social succession constitute the operation mechanism of the traditional governance pattern.Social reforms reshape the structure of rural society.The establishment of the rule of law and the collapse of the human bond have caused the shift to a"strong contract binding with week human bond".The modernization of rural social governance is an important goal of Chinese modernization.Returning to the local nature of rural society,building a rural social governance community,and realizing the new pattern of"strong countryside with strong binding of contract",which means the co-governance of both law and human bond,are in line with the essential requirements of Chinese modernization.It is of great significance to give full play to the profound basic strength and majestic innovative power of rural social modernization to promote Chinese modernization.
