Abstract:In the process of pushing forward the rural vitalization,China has gradually developed a rural governance system with the combination of “selfgovernance”,“rule of law” and “rule of virtue”. In this system,the “rule of law” is the main part which combines the “selfgovernance” and the “rule of virtue” in the rural governance system. However,the limitation of legislation,law enforcement and lawabidingness in the rural system of rule of law leads to weakening,absence and marginalization of the “rule of law” in the rural governance system. To tackle these problems,we have to improve the rural system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics,enhance the ability of rule of law and enrich the culture of rule of law for the rural governance. Specifically,the function of connection of the “rule of law” has to be put to good use in order to coordinate the combination of “selfgovernance”,“rule of law” and “rule of virtue”.
