Through clarifying and summarizing the historical experience of democratic development at the grassroots level, combined with theory of democracy and theory of state, the paper develops theoretical frame of constructing social harmony through democracy.The theory of democratic harmony is advanced after discussing correlation between the development mechanism of democracy at grassroots level and the construction of social harmony. The paper suggests that the essence of social harmony is the balance and coordination of rights between main bodies of the society, that governance oriented strong democracy is the optimum choice to realize governance optimization, equal consultation and communication between main bodies. We name this proposition "theory of democratic harmony" for short. We propose four medium - level theories as the basic mechanism to construct harmony through democracy, which is to solve problems arising in democracy mechanism with democratic consolidation, to breakthrough rigescent institution and principles by democratic innovation, to improve state and social governance status by good democratic governance and to form social harmony and cohesion with democratic consociation.Basing on normative analysis, in the proposition of "theory of democratic harmony", the paper develops four medium - level theories, which is the theory of democratic consolidation, the theory of democratic innovation, the theory of democratic governance, the theory of democratic consociation..A profound analysis of democracy development mechanism at grassroots level is also made with practical experience and cases.The paper claims that, in the process of constructing modern country, developing governance-oriented strong democracy by national capacity building and democracy development, is the basic choice to promote social harmony through grassroots level democracy.
