Abstract：Tax reform has promoted the transformation of the grassroots government function in our country, the country-township-villiage community of interests has gradually disintegrated in rural area, and villagers' autonomy has also been developed, relaxing the tension between the grassroots cadres and the masses since 1990 s.But at the same time, villagers don't trust in grassroots cadres and behave indifferently to them, partly due to the prevailing inactive tendency in the the grassroots governments.Therefore, if we want to foster a harmonious cadre-mass relationship and the stability of grass-roots political power, we should take the rational allocation of resources and promotion of grassroots democracy as the key points.
