This disertation recognizes that the functions of township governments have split while they are transforming with the Party and centre government's policy focus. In the countryside, the causes that township governments' role split lie in two points----one is the Autonomous System of grass-roots society; the other is the changes of public finance receipt and expenditure policies. Township governments have their own benifis although they are given the roles as instructors for autonomous orginzations of grass-roots society; as public power, township governments rely on public finance receipt and expenditure system if they would carry out the duty of providing public products. So the questions of the disertation are, whether township governments choose to behave for public aims in the autonomous affairs or not, is there any factors from their own benefits and the changing public finance receipt and expenditure policies?Will township governments transform their roles in the Autonomous System from controller to instructors , helpers and arbiters ? Only when we find answers of these questions can we understand the relationship between autonomous orginzations and township governments,then the relationship between social autonomous and state control in future China.The hypothesis of the paper is that, township governments' role in the Autonomous System changes with the changing of public finance receipt and expenditure polcies, they decide what role they should be occording to inner logic of the market .The paper reveals the process which township governments changed and split their roles in Autonomous System , fefering ordinate axis of time going and different roles of township governments at the same time .In Autonomous System , township governments used to change themselves from supporters of Villager Committee to conspirators while they act as controllers.In public affairs, they are controllers while they are controlled by country governments. In absorbing public finance receipt and expenditure system , township governments transformed themselves from absorbors to cadre / businessman while continuing absorbing. Township governments are now facing Dilemma as passers of the state -returns-nurturing to the countrysides.The first conclusion is that , when people think and locate why and how township governments' role split in the Autonomous System with changes of public finance receipt and expenditure polcies, they should look this question in the sight of a big history for social transformation and the building of modern state, so that people can confirm the future way of township governments; people should face the social division brought by modernization and market economy, so that they can deal with different roles of township governments'; only occording to the basic rules for democracy development in China , can people construct an efficient Autonomous System of grass-roots society in the countrysides which has the function of democratic autonomy.The second conclusion is that township governments are endowed with the duty to instruct and support the villagers' autonomy , therefore, they should offer some regulations for this kind of democracy. So the Central Government should quote the expierence of grass-roots autonomy in traditional Chinese society and the West countries.Especially a reasonal system of taxes and expenditure should be built after the new reformation, so that township governments can perform their main role of instructors, and combine with grass-roots society in the coutrysides to become real autonomic governments, to creat standard social units for modern state and modern society.
