Abstract: The continuous deepening of the research and the continuous improvement of the theoretical pedigree indicate that the practice of rural grass-roots social governance in our country has begun to move towards the theoretical consciousness. Among them, the theory of social governance represented by ethical community theory, rural social theory and folk law theory has become the three logical ways for academic circles to carry out the study of township regulations. However, these well researched and mature research methods have successfully guided the rural social governance in China to achieve "rural transformation". At the same time, there are also some helpless and embarrassing concerns for the lack of reality and theoretical explanations. The logic and governance practice of the development of rural China; on the one hand, calls for the academic circles to go beyond the discipline paradigm to integrate new theories. At the same time, it also looks forward to the theoretical innovation based on regional integration, which can become an inevitable option for the theoretical consciousness of township regulations.

Key words: township regulations, ethical community, social governance, folk law, customary law
