Since the founding of the Communist Party of China,it has been trying to promote the transformation of Chinese society from traditional to modern,with promotion of rule of law in rural governance as an important part. Since the reform and opening up,China has implemented the policy of ″sending law to the countryside″,established basic judicial institutions,cultivated villagers′ legal thinking,and maintained the order of rural governance. In recent years, ″sending law to the countryside″ has changed from ″institutional embeddedness″ to ″professional embeddedness″, and ″lawyers going to the countryside″ has become a key tool to ensure social governance by law, and has entered the historical stage as an innovative measure of China′s national governance. State power, through the ″embedded leadership″, namely, through ″Party and Youth League work coverage″, ″formulating normative guidelines″, ″creating a lawsuit market″ and other methods, promotes the organizational embedding, value embedding and interest embedding, constructs the political, professional and incentive nature of ″lawyers going to the countryside″, leads professional lawyers to promote the entry of national laws into the countryside, helps resolve conflicts and disputes at the source of the countryside and safeguard rights according to law, eliminates the cognition of ″making a big fuss″ and opportunism, turns to legal thinking, legal expression and rule awareness, promotes the organic integration of self-governance, moral governance and rule of law, and demonstrates the governance effectiveness of the ″lawyers going to the countryside″ system, providing a new field for observing the Chinese Communist Party′s promotion of the rule of law in rural governance.
