The village power structure is the main dimension of the village political society and the basis to understand the village politics, also the important view to penetrate the nature rural society, at the same time, the important breakthrough point and the academic derivatives of rural research. This paper is to investigate the field of H village of XS residential district in Zhejiang Province, based on the binary and three layer analysis on the village power structure in different periods of time, by exploring, reducing and capturing the "process and event" in the village "field", demonstrating the running state of the elite power of the village, to probe the function and mechanism of village power structure to village governance order. The foothold of the study will put on analyzing the deep reason of the change of village power structure and the village governance order, then discusses how to establish a harmonious and stable village governance order in the new situation.We first take the village elite as the breakthrough point, dose a comprehensive analysis of the static power structure in the period after the Reform and opening-up to the former period time of tax reform and after tax reform, including the composition and types of village elites, the distribution of power of village elites and the types of village elite power structure.Then the article discusses the relationship between different powers in village power structure which exist in the periods after the reform and opening-up, by using the "process and event" analysis the occurrence of the village in the past and now. It has been reduced to the interaction between the institutionalized elites, the institutionalized elites and the non institutionalized elites and the non institutionalized elites group. That is, the interaction between formal authority, formal authority, informal power and informal power. Through analysis, we find a kind of diversified power structure is been in village via the initial start of the social differentiationin the initial period of the reform and opening. In this pattern, the village official power is in an absolutely dominant position, the non institutionalized elites’impact is regional, lack of ability about village affairs, cannot produce enough impact on the village public affairs in different aspects. After the reform of tax and fee reform, the existence of "central work" make institutionalized elites still occupy considerable initiative in power interaction with economic and social elites. And the return of the economic elites played a major role in politics process is the most exhilarating push the pace of village democracy. Finally, the function of social elites show an obvious signs of narrowing.Through grasp the relationship between the village elites, village power structure and village governance pattern, this paper concludes that with the transition of village elites from "single elites" to "marginal manelites", village power structure has also occurred from the one-way dependence of the "Pyramid type" structural transformation to a diversified "union" structure. Even more important, from the perspective of village governance, L village’s political elite governance gradually transformed to a multi elite governance stage.
