基层乡村社会管理是中国历代王朝国家治理的根本。在明朝初期,皇权增强对基层管理的控制力度,在巩固法律、制度的基础上形成严密的乡村管理网。这一时期的基层管理对现代新农村建设也有着借鉴意义。 Grass-roots rural social management is the foundation of the governance of the dynasties in ancient China. In the early Ming dynasty, the imperial power strengthened its control over grass-roots management and formed a strict village management network based on the consolidation of laws and regulations. The management at the grassroots level in this period also has reference significance for the construction of modern new countryside.
