Through sustained and balanced modern state building, the fundamental transformation of political civilization has completed. This may promote the Chinese classic political form to the modern political form in order to cross the "historical Three Gorges" of China's political and social developments in modern times. It is also a permanent pursuit of Chinese rulers and the nationals. As a big peasant country, the traditional agricultural civilization which is identified by rural communities and farmers, is the most difficult and the most magnificent historical picture in this historical transformation. The democracy-building in rural areas whose main content is the villagers' self-government, is a great political and social development model that has a far-reaching effect and its own characteristics in China's political reform and democracy building over the past three decades of China's reform and opening up. As never seen before, it emerged the farmers as an autonomous and independent main body from the shadow of the long-standing history, in turn to trigger the historical motivation of the transformation of political civilization in rural China.However, three decades of democracy-building in rural areas have gradually began to touch on some deep-rooted contradictions and problems, especially since the new century began. While the improvement of the institutionalization and the democratic practices promoting in an all-round way in the rural areas, we also found a lot of problems, such as "Growing Pains" and "development of the dilemma". Both the theoretical workers and practical workers need to face this situation, and think about the internal contradictions and mechanisms that restrict the improvement and the development of the democratic management in a New Stage, so as to further promote the consolidation and deepening of democracy in rural areas. At the same time, acquire the Chinese practice-based knowledge resources for the entire country on the basis of in-depth summary of the democratic development mechanism in rural areas.In this paper, through the internal perspective of the village bases, we will do some fundamental analysis on rural social organization and social democratic society capacity building. And then discuss the deep relation among the construction of a modern state, social organizations, social self-construction and the development of democracy in rural areas, and thus to build social self-government function oriented mechanism for social organization in rural areas, promoting the theoretical proposition of the improvement of democratic management in rural areas. This Article is on the basis of doing research on the general situation, historical logic, the reality mechanisms of the rural social organization development, the effect of the social organizations' operation on the specific mechanisms which is about improving the integrity of farmers' democracy and the security mechanism of China's rural social organization's development, comprehensively studying the experience among foreign representative National Rural society organizations construction, local self-government and democracy-building, to put forward that the building of rural social organization in rural China is essentially a product of historical logic in a new stage of building a modern state. Through constructing rural social organization to develop rural democracy, it reflects a new combination model of state-building in a new stage and community development. This combination model not only reflect that its deep needs of the extension and pervasion of the modern state authority at the modern stage of the transformation of civilization in rural society, but aslo bases on the development of rural society internal organization resources and self-government capacity, and form support and help for state-building. At the same time, such rural social organization mechanism which is constructed by going with the extension and pervasion of the modern State rational power, is mainly based on the aim of the development of social self-governance capability. It reflected the support of legitimacy of state power and also the effective restraint to unlawful abuse of power. Being supported by such social basis, the democracy in rural areas will smoothly overcome profound contradictions and rapid change that was brought about by civilization transition, developing a new democratic equation suited to China's society field passwords.Finally, the article notes that the construction of a modern state in China has entered a new stage. It requires the rural community to form a social organized network on the basis of empowerment. With the combination of direct rule, the social organized network can not only develop the social self-government capacity but also create a horizontal integration of social identity, so that the rural society can be included in the governance of civil society. As with the British working class, in their process of class struggle for becoming a civil society, they found they are a class of the state that is a qualified participant in the bourgeois democratic political system. Therefore they smoothly realized the modern transformation and democratization of the United Kingdom. Aiming to be a solid component of democracy, the construction of rural social organization and the development of the social self-governing capacity are to make the peasants to be part of the civil society which can be managed and regulated.
