Rural rules and regulations are direct and important means for grass-roots governance, but the lack of coercive force and relief channels and other practical difficulties restrict their roles. Beyond capacity to solve these problems, it's inevitable to resort to stronger external forces of governance. As the lowest level of national legislative hierarchies, the legislation of cities with districts is closest to rural governance practice, undoubtedly a superior choice for rural governance by law. Use of the legislation of cities with districts to regulate rural rules and regulations, to standardize formulation and revision procedures, and to improve review mechanisms, etc. is inherent in the practice of improving national governance by law as well as an effective choice for implementing the rural revitalization strategy.
