Along with the continuous deepening of reforms, the household contract responsibility system, the EC points with a two-level operating system has been shown not meet the development of market economy, agricultural land disputes have occurred frequently is a clear proof. In fact, the rural land has become mainly farmers' operation, farmers on land contract for the operation of the nature of ownership has been very close. Especially in the Third Session of the 10th NPC held a press conference, Premier Wen Jiabao, in answering a reporter's question clearly states: Farmers on the production and operation of land ownership will be long-term remain unchanged, that is also to say it will never change.

The author repeatedly goes to do depth empirical research in some village, found that after the abolition of agricultural tax, in some areas, the rural collective economy and the public power organizations is weakening, many villages have become only the elderly, women and children leaved. The members of the village lack the recognition of collective organizations, the original villages in the loss of public authority. Such a situation exacerbated by the spread of the order of the rural system and recognition of the loss of control and weakened the rural community of self-integration capabilities. Under such circumstances, land disputes triggered the transition period will be a rural social and political contradictions and conflicts of the major causes. If this can not be hold back or resolve promptly and effectively, it will certainly affect the building of a harmonious socialist society.Professor Xiang Jiquan through the context of rural collective economic governance structure's research discovered that the village governance each fundamental changes with rural basic economic system in particular, the structure of property rights and management style is closely related to changes, too.
