ABSTRACT

Legal literacy system in rural areas has become increasingly complete, and the rule of law construction has been continuously advanced. However, through practical investigations, the legal literacy system in rural areas of the new era has failed to achieve the expected effects, with practical obstacles such as structural imbalances in grassroots teams and the need to improve the quality of cadres. This study will primarily take 15 villages in Shaanxi Province as typical cases to examine the causes of the legal literacy system's predicament. Through methods such as questionnaire surveys, field interviews, comparative analysis, and field observations, the study will investigate three different groups: legal literacy personnel, villagers, and judicial bureau staff. Based on this, the study explores solutions from multiple perspectives to optimize the structure of grassroots teams and enhance the quality of cadres, aiming to enrich the theoretical framework of how the legal literacy system empowers rural governance and contribute to rural revitalization and the construction of a law-based China.
