Knowledge-based government is a kind of government model to adapt to the knowledge-based economy which takes knowledge resources as the core resources, information technology as the technical support, knowledge management as the important management method, open and interactive features as the external characteristics, enhances administrative efficiency and ameliorates public services as the fundamental purpose. The elements of this kind of government include the knowledge-based management platform with specific knowledge management function, the knowledge-based civil servant with a higher knowledge, quality and capacity, the knowledge-based organizational structure with the flat and flexible characteristics, and the knowledge-based organizational culture consisting of People-oriented culture, innovative culture and cooperative culture.Knowledge-based government construction is necessary for the good development of the government.

Secondly, we should steadily implement the "province to county" system, actively promote the flexible mechanisms of human resource management and tentatively build the virtual team to build a knowledge-based organizational structure. Thirdly, we should build a knowledge management system and set up knowledge management sector to create a knowledge-based management platform. Fourthly, we should implement People-oriented pattern in management, establish innovation mechanism and foster cooperation concept to create a knowledge-based organizational culture.
