| The peasants are the largest social class and population. Establishing and perfecting the rural elder security system (RESS) is an important component for building the system of the rural social security, a requisite measure to meet the demand for ageing of population, an effective measure to safeguard farmers'own interests, and a necessary method to realize roundly affluent society. Both the achievement of theoretic research from home and abroad, and the development difficulties which was met during the course of the RESS has been popularized throughout the country since 1982, both of them indicate the key to be delimiting governmental responsibility (GR) for establishing and perfecting the RESS.However, system design and fiscal responsibility and supervision are summarized to be the component of the GR of building the RESS for the agreements about the research from economic perspective, that is to say, based on the theories of market failure and public goods (quasi-public goods). Although this kind of research finding has been important components to carry out the RESS, what the people undertaking the mono-angle research mode often fail to see is that the concept and value orientation and morality which being characteristics of the traditional culture behind the system may bring about a civilizing influence on the system. This kind of typical case has already happened in China because there are highly centralized political system and unique traditional culture of providing for the aged. So the system encouraged by the research mode is nothing more extraordinary than Little Red Flowers and the effectiveness of the system has worked dissatisfactory because most of people disagree it for their lack of cultural identity.So after combining many courses theoretic such as politics and economics and sociology and expanding the connotation and extension of the GR, the paper try hard to make up a new theoretical frame in the field of the GR of building the RESS from the view of the institutional culture in order to provide a new direction for thoroughly researching future.The research idea of the paper is most as follows:making up theoretical frame, learning from the past, analyzing muttons at the resent and looking to the future. That is to say, a new theoretical frame should be made up in the first and second chapter. Then the GR of historical changes of the RESS should be reviewed and concluded in the third chapter. The GR of the RESS which being most comprised by the new type RESS nowadays should be analyzed from the fourth to the sixth chapter. Finally, the GR of the RESS in the innovative future should be predicted and it sums up research conclusion and insufficiency in the seventh and eighth chapter.Chapter one is the introduction of the paper, which details the research status, the research aim and significance, research methodology and most innovations, etc.Chapter two mainly analyzes the theory issues on the GR of the RESS in China. Firstly, a few basic concepts such as elder security and GR is clearly defined and the connotation and extension of the GR is expanded, then after pointing out its necessary for delimiting GR for establishing and perfecting the RESS, the thesis tries to make up a new theoretical frame in the field of the GR of building the RESS learning from the institutional culture impact on the institution based on many courses research results including politics and economics and sociology in order to provide theoretical foundation for the entire paper's thoroughly researching.Chapter three mainly analyzes the GR of historical changes of the RESS. First of all, the historical changes of the RESS in China was divided into three periods, which are the period of traditional family security for the aged before founding of new China, the period of collective security for the aged between founding of new China and reform and opening-up and the period of old model RESS after reform and opening-up. Furthermore, after sorting out and analyzing and summing up the institutional settings and governing idea and the value orientation of system design and concrete content of the GR during the three different history period, especially the influencing mechanism between the first three ones, it reveals the law of the system evolution, that is to say, the institutional settings should affect the governing idea which should also affect the value orientation of system design, at last the concrete content of the GR should be affected by them. At the same time, two important features of traditional culture of providing for the aged which are respecting the old and attach importance to family are summarized.Chapter four mainly analyzes the GR of the value orientation of system design of the present RESS. After analyzing the present institutional settings of the present RESS, the chapter points out that it is essential for the government arriving at' build a harmonious socialist society'governing idea and that the idea should affect 'fair and just and share' the value orientation of the RESS.Chapter five mainly analyzes the GR of system design and operation of the present RESS. After analyzing the concrete content of the GR such as model selection and fiscal responsibility building management system and supervision, the chapter appraises these responsibilities according to the national conditions and the characteristic of traditional culture in China.Chapter six mainly analyzes the GR of the sustainable development of the RESS. After choosing and analyzing four index as follows:modest protection and percentage of coverage and linkage between urbane and rural security system for the aged and the reciprocity relationship between the new type RESS and traditional culture of providing for the aged, the chapter detects and evaluates the results of the system design and operation.Chapter seven mainly analyzes the GR of the RESS in the innovative future. After analyzing the inevitability of the change and innovation of the RESS, and analyzing the intrinsic factors for hindering or pushing the system, the chapter points out that the change and innovation of the RESS should never be come true until government updates its governing idea and pushes the value orientation of system to change and builds new type culture of providing for the aged.Chapter eight is the research conclusion and outlook for the paper. After analyzing the full text, the chapter arrives at six main conclusions as follows:it is primary task for government undertaking its responsibility of the RESS to establish a fair governing idea, it is focus and difficulty for government to design system according to traditional culture of providing for the aged, it is important means to realize family-unit joining insurance for government raising coverage rate of the system, it is an internal motivation to build a new type culture of providing for the aged for government pushing the innovation of the RESS, and it is future direction to develop services for aged living with their own family for government reforming the RESS. At the same time, the chapter arrives at also a few insufficiencies as follows:the paper couldn't make it plain for the range of the all levels GR, it is be short of the analysis of empirical test about the results for consolidating family of governmental policy, and the paper couldn't try to find difference about governing idea and the value orientation of the RESS and system design content between different cultures.The paper's main innovations are as follows:Firstly, the novelty of the research framework has been made. After sorting out and summing up the relation between institutional culture and institution, this thesis explores a new and rough framework of the study on the GR of building the RESS in order to provide a new direction for thoroughly researching future. The new research framework involves four constituents as follows:governing idea should affect the value orientation of RESS designing, the government should design the concrete content of the RESS according to the Chinese traditional culture, the government should try to make an integral development between the RESS and the Chinese traditional culture during the sustainable development of the RESS. and the government should build a feasible institutional settings for the innovation of the RESS.Secondly, the new law of the system evolution has been made. The paper reveals the new law of the system evolution after tring its hard again to conclude and summarize the historical changes of the RESS in China as follows:the institutional settings→governing idea→the value orientation of system design→the mode of the RESS, that is to say, the institutional settings should affect the governing idea which should also affect the value orientation of system design, at last the mode of the RESS should be affected by them. In other words, different institutional settings should develop different governing idea which should have a great influence on the value orientation of system design, so the Chinese government should select family security for the aged and collective security for the aged and social pension for the rural people during the deferent period of history. Obviously, the new law could help to predict the innovating and developing orientation for the RESS in China.Thirdly, the novelty of the research conclusions has been made as follows:it is primary task for the government undertaking its responsibility of the RESS to establish a fair governing idea, that is to say, the definitions of governing idea should have a vital influence on the pattern and concrete content of the GR of the RESS. Moreover, it is focus and difficulty for the government to design system according to traditional culture of providing for the aged. Although most scholars think that the proportion of the fiscal responsibility is focus and difficulty for the GR of the RESS, the thesis thinks that the result of system operation should not be good until the concrete content of RESS could correspond with concept and value orientation and morality of Chinese people. Since the characteristic of traditional culture should not be understood until we feel with our heart so it is focus and difficulty to how to design the system according to the traditional culture of providing for the aged.
