The study on the elite group in the rural society has been a hotpot in China’s rural society. Many of the studies have been conducted to rural society, while ignoring the phenomenon of the elite flow. For the rural areas of owning poor social capital, the continuous outflow of the rural elite, is bound to be a human and intellectual loss. Under the background of the elite loss, the rural areas with cohesion and openness, tradition and modernization, need governance, which have novel and flexible form, inclusive and strong cohesion. That is social network. Therefore, it has an important significance to study the elite social relations network on rural elite repaying their hometown and promoting governance of rural society.In the present study, it’s not much that the empirical research on the relationship between rural elites from the perspective of social relations network. Based on this, the main framework of this paper is based on the social network, taking rural elite council of D County as the research object. First of all, through research perspective on the macro level of the overall social network, we found that the formation of elite social relations network in D country has the spontaneity、 complexity and scalability. It followed the logic of establishing a link the forming a circle - the forming a network. According to the category of rural elite and the difference of the main status in the network, it creates two social relations network, which is single mode and composite mode. Whichever mode it is, the key is mutual cooperation and common governance between the elites. Secondly, on the basis of knowing the overall structure of the network, I analyze the operation mode of elite social relations network in the rural by the perspective of social network by oneself from micro level. The results showed that "strong relationship" benefit agree on public affairs. "Weak ties" can be used as a bridge to convey information. The advantages of acquiring information result in rural economic resources. The actors of "Structural hole" play an important role in promoting rural traditional culture.Certainly, there are limitations in the application of elite social relations network in the country. The author puts forward to the optimization route of rural elite social relations network from the external and internal angel. From external view, expand the scale of social relations network. It mainly optimizes by promoting the return of rural elites and increasing the contact with the outgoing elites. From internal view, strengthen the cohesion of social relations network. It mainly optimizes by establishing the institution of democratic participation and strengthening the cooperation between the elites.
