The overall cancelling of agriculture tax is a sign of Post-agricultural Tax Era from the policy feeding on agriculture time to the agriculture feeding on industry time. Taking the rural governance of northeast which is before and after the agricultural tax canceling as the comparative background and based on the evolution of the rural governance of our country from the traditional society, the paper mainly studies the political, economic and social effect to the rural governance after the tax exemption. Besides that, attempting to analyze the possible way to have good governance to the rural in new times, the paper also gives a rational thought to many problems in northeast rural, which needs special focus in Post-agricultural Tax Era, such as the power of the further political development and dilemma of governance.The main part of the paper is divided into six chaptersChapter 1 explains the meanings and political significances of Post-agricultural Tax Era. Beginning with the history evolution of agriculture tax in China, this chapter makes a detailed analysis to the background of rural tax reforms and the implementation process of agriculture tax policy. Marking with the great policy of agriculture tax abolishing complement among the country all over China, we have already stepped into a Post-agricultural Tax Era when the industry and city respectively support the agriculture and rural. On that basis, it gives the interpretations of the meanings and the political orientation of "Post-agricultural Tax Era" whose concept is still debatable in academia. Seeing from the background and guidance of the policy complement, the paper get the conclusions that abolishing agriculture tax not only reduce a economic problem to alleviates the burden of farmers but also adjusts the multiple interests between nation and farmers, cadres and the masses, central and local, urban and rural. In this sense, its political significance is bigger than the economic significance. Chapter 2 is the theory summary of the governance and the rural governance. Basing on the review of the thriving process of the governance theory, the paper makes a brief interpretation to the advancing and development of rural governance concept in China. Because of the dual segmentation system between urban and rural, the rural governance of China is different from west foreign country. Since the day that the theory of rural governance emerged in China, the country has already taken the nation-society relations as the main analyzing frame. As well, the rural governance always goes ahead with the conflicts between the nation and the society. Accompanying with the changes in the strength of the relationship between the nation and society, the rural governance has gone through the village mode of imperial power limited to the county government, the manager mode of power sink and involution, the administrative villages mode of land reform movement, the totalitarian-controlled mode of political and social unity, and still apply the township government village governance mode which is still applied today.Chapter 3 analyzes the logic and institutional defects of rural governance in the era of tax collection by using the real evidences. Choosing a typical agricultural town of northeast as the research sample and comparing before and after the agricultural canceling, the author points out the defects of the township government and village committee, which are respectively on behalf of the nation and society, on governance structure and operation of power. Besides that, the author also indicates the dilemma of power structure division and control in rural governance system which on behalf the society in the past. Comparing to the above, we get the positive effects to the rural governance in Post-agricultural Tax Era.Chapter 4 mainly analyzed the positive effects to the rural governance after the agricultural tax canceling. The abolishing not only realizes the zero burdens to the farmers, enhances the activity to plant, but also returns the relationship between the government and the farmers from rigid lead to the flexible instruct. The governance subject changes from unitary to plural, and the way is gradually indirect. The rural governance starts to appear modernization pattern. Seen from the town governance, policy not feeding on agriculture forces the town to change the system. Seen from the village governance, the abolishing of this center task will optimize the relationship between different power subjects. Seen from the farmers, the abolishing not only alleviates their burdens but also improve their political right awareness from the political zoology that the government give the right to the mass. Therefore, the farmers increase their sense of identity to the state power day by day. More and more talents emerge and participate in the political affairs, all this lead to the rural governance by talents from country.Chapter 5 introduces the new series of dilemmas from the rural governance in Post-agricultural Tax Era. This chapter particularly compares the behaviors of rural governance crisis before and after. Because of the through change of management logic after the abolishing of agriculture tax, the government changes from the positive administration to the absence management, the government. There are four aspects of governance ability which include economic regulation, social management, market supervision and public services are weak. Besides that, lots of new problem emerges such as the alienated relationship between cadres and masses, one thing one discussion in name only, no hope to defuse the collective debt, contrast of land grab and so on. Whether the problem solved well, not only concerns the maintaining of the reform but also the construction of the stable order and the future benign development of the country.Chapter 6 mainly focuses on the implementation conditions which make the good rural governance in Post-agricultural Tax Era. Beginning with the idea changing and cognitive deviation correcting, the chapter proposed 6 measures such as constructing the benign and interactive relationship between the rural governance subject, adjusting the structural reform path of country and improving the efficient of reform, Exploring the social resources generated by the country and perfecting the villager self-governance system, constructing the brand new supply mechanism of rural public products, improve the rural financial viability, exploring the rural governance system which conforms to the require of Post-agricultural Tax Era.Chapter 7 is the basic conclusion and supplement. According to the stated before, we can get several conclusions. Firstly, the reform process of rural governance structure of China is from dual structure between nation and society to plural structure. As the subjects are gradually changing from nation to society and family to individual, the civil individual right gets a further confirm. Secondly, as the rural governance is an interaction of field between exterior power structure and interior, the key of good governance and optimizing country power structure under a benign and interactive rural governance structure is to construct from exterior to interior, up and down. Thirdly, after the canceling of agriculture tax, the trend of county politics-town sending- village governance model which means the government gives the right to people is obvious. So the rural governance is just a developing process from power control to civil governance.In a word, the overall canceling of agricultural tax not only has positive effects but also a series of negative challenges and problems. Just as the opinion of Marxist philosophy, there are two sides in everything. So be on or against everything don't accord with the materialist dialectics. Rural governance are both complex system engineering and a long-term adjustment process, therefore, it need more sustained attentions by the theory horizon and the unremitting endeavor by the practitioners.
