Archaeological Perspectives on the Modern Transformation of China's Grassroots Social Governance Culture

Abstract

This study examines the modern transformation of China's grassroots social governance culture from an archaeological perspective. Employing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates archaeology, anthropology, and history, the research reveals that the concept of the legal system is increasingly prevalent, while traditional culture continues to exert a profound influence on grassroots social governance. However, the transformation process is beset by issues such as cultural conflicts, institutional irregularities, and power abuse. Drawing on archaeological insights into ancient governance models, this paper proposes strategies including respecting diverse cultures, refining grassroots institutional frameworks, and standardizing power mechanisms. These measures aim to provide historical reflections and cultural support for modern grassroots social governance.
