Local Governance in China's current practice of government power is facing some difficulties,one of the manifestations of power failure is a formal, reasonable and lawful acts of a boycott of governance is difficult to display their power during the operation of "informal power technology" highlights. To distinguish between micro-power with state power, based on the legitimacy of this theory from the perspective of the primary operation of government power, and then through the case. "Yao Courtyard" Demolition Local Governance presented the story of the difficulties encountered, and explains the legitimacy Why was the government the power to resist. This paper argues that although the rule of law has become an important basis ofsocial governance is an important grass-roots basis of the legitimacy of governmental authority; but this is not the only legitimacy. Before the reform of China's overall behind the dominant model of governance there is a doctrine based on asylum or "Thanksgiving" legitimacy. With the transformation of governance, the legitimacy of turning to legal-rational legitimacy, but the former did not completely remove it. but as the livelihood concerns of the Government in recent years, re-becoming one of the basic legitimacy of government power. This is the grassroots government power to establish the legitimacy of the two co-exist on top of that article refers to "double legitimacy."In the legal-rational legitimacy of relations of domination, power legalize the operation itself is reflected. Based on legal legitimacy and thus the operation of power along with its legalization, which means that legal rules have been confrrmed to be in the production of this power relationship. However, the shelter based on the principle of reciprocity-based relations of domination doctrine is the legalization of sex with a duration different from market transactions can be equivalent to confirm the general pros and cons, the legitimacy of asylum doctrine of "owe" and "grace" by the words, society memory, ideology and other factors. Dominant system or the streets of this article, in which the administrative system, the system needs to obey the principle of legality in the operation of power - similar to the game rules of the game, the game measures of both the game can not violate the rules of the game in response and Is based on the rules of the game, the foul response there is no "legitimacy ", offending party will be excluded from outside the game - the power of such norms as the basis of practice, andimplementation of power can not exceed the basis that they Legitimacy, need to practice constantly in the implementation of the power to "legitimation. "Based on the formal legitimacy of grassroots governance authority will complete the implementation of two different types of legalization, to meet the operation specifications of two different powers, and the tension between these two specifications. So when the power of the legality of this double event encountered some of control is possible because they can not legalize same time difficult to achieve both cast, into trouble. Courtyard in the removal of Yao, the district offices to face such a predicament, with legitimacy, "according to demolitions," the power must also meet the "proper arrangements" to legitimize the power both to satisfy the rule of law and practice, both the people's livelihood logic of action. But send him with "minimal needs" identity or "identity as a weapon of the weak," have been raising interests, the interests of his request and no legal basis to meet the district offices will blindly type of damage the legitimacy of legal harm. The logic behind it is the legitimacy of the correspondingtwo different rules, the rule of law legitimizing its program to achieve power, and livelihood of the value of its effects. Once the conflict between the program and effect, power is caught in a difficult dilemma legalize difficult to display. In the case, this dilemma in daily life through the power of technology has been resolved, the government finally reached a head in its governance.
