Strengthening the society construction and innovating social management is an important factor of scientific thinking on development and is the important principle and innovation of practice we are conducting in the progress. Now, we are in the period of both golden strategic chance of development and complexities of social conflicts. There exist many problems in the field of society construction and social management. Foreign countries have established the systems of social management and society policy that are fit for their national conditions during the process of modern transition of social management. In this aspect, they accumulated much valuable experience that is worth being introduced and learned seriously. Once, a topic team summarized the basic experience of society construction and management abroad into eight aspects as follows:1.valuing the system construction and improving the social management;2.stressing humane care and highlighting people’s participation;.encouraging the interaction between government and civil person;4. stressing equally on law and moral;5.balancing fairness and efficiency;6.intensifying the combination between government input and social participation;7.laying stresses on professional and careful management;8.paying more attention to the application of modern technology. The essence of social management abroad is to set up a system of social management led by government with the premise of social self-management and broad civil participation.Rome is not built in one day. The acceleration of society construction is driven by every citizen’s actions. The new idea of social management is to realize the transformation from the traditional system to a new one. The new system has many new characteristics such as sound interactions among government management, social self-adjustment, and self-governance by resident; comprehensive application of many means; harmony with management and service; ordered and unified multi-governance, co-construction and sharing. In the1990s, the rise of voluntary service and the foundations of voluntary organizations in the word opened an "organization revolution" swept the globe. People are very eager to join in the organizations to offer humane service, safeguard the civil rights, and improve the basic level economic and social development. The phenomenon has become the important sign of social development and change.The development of civil society with the backbone of public administration constituted mutually by government and market has been a request of social change in China. For a long time, our country dealt with the problems by high concentration of power and political mobilization from top to bottom. Although it can bring high efficiency in certain conditions, finally resulted in lack of social flexibility and less development of the masses’activeness and initiatives. Under the conditions that the omnipotent government does not develop functionally, the growth and development of society actually are necessary and certainly. The high-centralized administrative mode of management does not perform well in the open system under the market conditions. The primary task of the government is to handle tightly some problems closed to the whole country’s existence, safety and development, go back to the root of service, leave the problems which the masses are capable of handling to the society, transform the corresponding rights to society and ensure sound development of society. Here, the responsible organizations are non-governmental, non-profit voluntary group and they show the more important functional role of society. The development of the organizations is favorable for the settlement of social problems, mobilization of social resources, and the formation of energetic society. It is real request that our country is building the modernized socialist country. Therefore, the development of voluntary social organizations has direct connections with civil’ society, or it is the only passed way of growth of civil growth.The first important task of voluntary spirit is "voluntary". The actual civil society is that the citizens have formed their own sense that we are willing to do what we can do to the society, organized voluntarily to carry out public interest activities. In China, voluntary activities and voluntary organizations are the special powers of constituting the civil society, which construct the society through the moral practice of voluntary services and build up themselves. Then the services and organizations will become the valuable treasures of our society. With the pace of developing the socialist market economy system, the establishment of civil society will certainly be put on the agenda. It will be a process of social structure reconstruction and of great changes of social organizations. In addition, during the process, it will be beneficial to our development of society if the spirit representing by the voluntary services and organizations can become an important factor of society constitution.The activities of the voluntary organization provide opportunities for its members for playing and practicing modern citizens, and provide civil society new and valuable elements. These contributions include its strengthening the members’ sense of responsibility and cooperation, developing their equality consciousness and respecting for persons, and producing more profound understanding in rights and equal. In addition, there are virtues that the modern citizen members of society should have. Although Chinese civil society still has a lot of substantial defects, there exist a large number of volunteers of grassroots, voluntary organizations by the government, decentralized organization, social bottom-up genesis, and organizations awakening in the order of autonomy. They will make more Chinese people to participate in social, undertake social responsibilities, strive for their own option, decision-making rights and autonomy from the government gradually, and then exercise supervision to the government. When Chinese citizens’ consciousness of rights awakens universally, the opportunity to construct the civil society in complete significance will mature.This article research framework is as follows:1.Introductory theory:Including the origin of research, the research significance, literature review and thesis structure, research methods2.The basic meaning of voluntary service and the inoculation:Expounds different civilization which leads volunteerism, voluntary service, voluntary organization of development, basic features, concept evolution and so on in the period of human society development.3.Development history:Based on different social construction and development background since the new China’s founding, according to its functions, carries on the history review, puts forward four period of theory of the contemporary Chinese volunteer service development, transition initial stage namely with he founding of the mass mutual donations for the characteristics after founding of the new China, the growth stage with the characteristics of the study from Lei Feng movement, transition stage of development of exploring the volunteer service system since the reform and opening up and social common identity, extensive participation stage.4.The current situation of development:Based on China’s voluntary service is China’s civil society isologues from China, analyze Chinese volunteer service development present situation, the problems and the rise of civil society performance, difficulties from the development of voluntary service spirit power, cultural identity and background, and put forward volunteer service value under the perspective of the civil society.5.Function orientation and path choice:Based on the out of the civil society development dilemma, contemporary Chinese volunteer service needs "transformation" from generation mechanism, organization mode and development mode, which means that the government leading, top-down mode to conscious, endogenous type, the autonomy of bottom-up social genesis model transformation, by activity type organization to productive organization transformation.
