The city-governing-county system has had certain positive effect in advancing the process ofurbanization in a particular period. However, with the development of socialist marketeconomy, the fiscal system of "city-governing-county" has gradually exposed theshortcomings, the phenomenon of county and township’s financial difficulties hasretained for a long time, this situation requires the government should adjust theunder-provincial fiscal system, the "province-governing-county" fiscal systememerges as the times require. At present, the country has more than20provinces thatimplement the province-governing-county fiscal system, and have obtained certainachievements.

This part mainly discusses the research background, thesignificance of this research, domestic related research and evaluation, research ideasand contents, research methods, possible innovation and deficiency. The study of"province-governing-county" financial system has strong practical significance andtheory significance in the current stage. Province-governing-county finance reform isthe important way to improve the reform of the tax system and has importantsignificance of solving the financial difficulties of local governments.Part Ⅱ, the concepts and theoretical basis about "province-governing-county"finance system.

Drawing lessons from thedomestic mature research results and experience, combination of effect analysis of theAnqiu County, from the financial and management point of view, this paper suggeststhat the government should rationalize the intergovernmental fiscal relationship, improve financial supervision and improve administrative system and so on.This deficiency lies in the following two aspects:(1) The theoretical depth is not enough, though I do everything that I can do.However, due to personal ability and limited knowledge, the depth and breadth oftheoretical research exists large gaps. I will in the future learning process, enrich theeffort to make up for continuous improvement.(2) Although the research of collation selection and data analysis are inaccordance with strict criteria, so I can’t guarantee that data is fully consistent withthe actual situation, there are small deviations, which is inevitable.
