The dissertation, with the administrative structure and government ability of the new Guixi in the 1930s as the subject, aims to conduct a systematic study of its administrative mechanisms, government operation and government ability , and to lay out the characteristics of the network and social nature. Based on the conclusion that the new Guixi authority formed a "strong government and weak society, the dissertation emphases the exploration into the causes of the powerful social mobilization in Guangxi ,and analyzes the social structure ,social crises and corresponding results ; on the other hand it exposes the social development and transition in Guangxi by means of the authority performances ,and analyzes the true story ,and with which as the case ,explore the balancing between the authority and societyThe new Guixi administrative reform begins with the reconstruction of local administrations. At the provincial level, the new Guixi established the core status of the provincial government by merging official departments and concentrating the decentralized power on the provincial governor , and realized the absolute control of the government by military dignitaries' filling in the core government positions ;At the county level the administration was controlled by the magistrate ; At the grassroots level the administrative power was extended to the grass roots by merging the civil office ,the civil corps and school. It is in this period that the new Guixi could form a from -up- to -down administrative network across Guangxi and by which, realized the social administration, social service and social control.Government's "operational mechanism" is the soul of the system. In the progress of the operation , the new Guixi military groups owned the highest decision-making powers, and controlled the government's various sources of information and the highest decision-making with the help of the secret organizations . The provincial government played the role of the hub, and monitored and supervised the complete enforcement of the Government power into the grassroots levels .The ultimate aim of Constructing of good government operational mechanism is to strengthen government capacity. This paper, on the standard of whether the Government maintained the social balance , explores into the newl930s Guixi government ability , with the Government's civil service system, the efficiency of the Government as well as the Government's financial ability to collect funds and social mobilization capability of the 1930s as a new element. Then the Government, by setting up a modern civil service system, launching reforms to improve administrative efficiency, merging and degrading Government Offices, improved the governmental efficiency; Government's financial resources were expanded by finical reforms; Social mobilization was also an unprecedentedly increased. These embody the positive direction of the new Guixi government in that decade, but also greatly enhance the working efficiency and administrative efficiency of the government. However, the Government is built on the imbalance between the government and the society.The imbalance of the system was exacerbated, with the result of the 1930S new Government's excessive overdraft of social resources for one-sidedly to develop the Government and the Group itself, and no much social development . In such an imbalance system of overdraft, it is only in the decade in the 1930s that the powerful governmental capability showed the "short-lived" vigor, but it fails to support the new government Guixi long rule.Finally, the sense and the social consequences of the construction of new Guixi Government's administrative network Guixi , from the perspective of the state and the society, is explored and it is concluded that the new Guixi administrative mechanisms and the powerful governmental gave an unprecedented expansion of the new Guixi ruling power and got evident social dependence , and but also corresponding social hidden resistance .In short, the 1930s Guixi new government administrative system plays the role of providing a means of strengthening social management and control .Through this channel, the Government has taken the effective control of the people, succeeded in unconditional drawing the social resources. In this regard, it provides us with a successful regime sinking in the grass roots. But this system has led to the long-term imbalance between government and society, under which , the long weakened or ignored functions of the society, and the weak economic base, excessive military dependence ultimately leads to its inevitable failure .
