唐代乡村社会中，社与官方的乡里组织相互补充、相互依托，一方面，乡里政权希望通过社这一组织来弥补自己统治中的不足，以此约束民众，稳定一方局势；另一方面，社也需要乡里组织的支持。社有成为乡里政权在经济、思想、政治、组织上控制人民的辅助手段的倾向。 On the one hand, the township regime hopes to make up for the shortcomings in its own administration through the organization of the society, so as to restrain the people and stabilize the situation on the one hand. On the other hand, in the rural society in the Tang Dynasty, the organizations of the community and the official townships complement and rely on each other. On the other hand, The community also needs the support of the township organization. Societies have tended to become the means by which the township government controls the people in the economic, ideological, political, and organizational fields.
