Abstract: In the theoretical perspective of political sociology,the key to implementing the rural vitalization strategy in the new era is to find a balanced interaction between the state and rural society.With reference to the analysis framework of social integration and the research materials of village X,it is found that under the drive of modernization and after deep social transformation and a full range of marketization,the current rural society has simultaneously encountered the problem of organizational fracture caused by the shrinking of traditional clans and the dissolution of village-level organizations,the problem of cultural fracture induced by changes in ethical principles and the decline of public culture,as well as the problem of elite fracture caused by the demise of the squire and the degeneration of elites.In the face of a fractured society lacking organic unity,the implementation of the rural vitalization strategy must begin with the effective reorganization of the village society,follow the paths of reconstructing organizational resources,revitalizing public culture,and increasing elite supply to build a social foundation for positive interaction with the state,so as to achieve a new balance in the relationship between the state and rural society.
