According to the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we must persevere in advancing rural revitalization across the board. Using advanced technical means to promote the modernization of grassroots governance in rural areas is not only an important category of social governance, but also the foundation and basic guarantee for realizing the strategy of rural revitalization. In advancing grassroots social governance in rural areas, the transformation from authority governance to technical governance has become an irresistible trend, and technology can tackle or is tackling some long-term accumulated difficulties in grassroots governance. From traditional authority governance to modern technical governance to overall governance, the model of grassroots governance in rural areas is not an inflexible theoretical and practical system. Driven by the internet of things, big data and intelligent technology, information technology has been improving the efficiency, reshaping the pattern and tackling difficult problems of governance. There is much inner coherence between the marked feature of information technology and grassroots governance. By means of modern technology and innovation mode, information technology and artificial intelligence technology are affecting and changing grassroots governance, causing transformations of its internal governance mechanisms in goals, decisions and benefits. The close integration of information technology innovation and rural governance will promote the application of information technology in rural areas, change the paradigm of rural governance, and add new energy and vitality to rural governance. Big data technology, intelligent technology and internet of things technology can be applied to quickly collect, exploit, analyze, study, predict and share the existing data in rural areas, which will provide normal data and information for accurate prediction and scientific decision-making of rural grassroots governance, making rural grassroots governance more refined and intelligent and promoting the accurate process of grassroots governance. Relying on their own strength, villagers are trying to reshape the grassroots governance model and find a way out of the involution of rural society with the help of science and technology, which will promote the overall progress and development of rural economy and other undertakings and truly realize self-governance by villagers. The application of big data technology will help to solve the pain points for people’s livelihood, ensure people’s safety, lay a foundation for people’s livelihood and promote comprehensive governance. The fruits will benefit all villagers, which means "sharing", and meet people’s sense of gain, happiness and security. By relying on and using intelligent technical means to provide flexible and innovative measures and solutions of grassroots governance in a comprehensive, wide and deep way, intelligent governance can better reflect a tacit and harmonious symbiotic relationship between people and technology. Technology must continue to be integrated into rural grassroots governance, root internet thinking in the innovation process of grassroots governance system. Based on the actual needs of rural residents, we must innovate governance means so as to promote the high and deep integration of technological development and grassroots governance. However, technology is not neutral. Only by establishing good legal norms can we maintain social stability and order. The integration of technical governance into rural areas is a gradual process. We should adopt differentiated technological innovation strategy according to the actual situation and explore the innovation path of rural grassroots governance. Since the ultimate advantage of technical governance lies in its standardization and rationality, the capacity of grassroots governance needs to rely more on the overall governance of the whole region and all elements to be improved constantly. Technical governance must be guaranteed by the system which features standardizing and regulating technology and comprehensively plan the comprehensive governance mechanism of various grassroots departments and institutions, so as to stimulate the endogenous growth momentum of grassroots governance and promote the modernization process of rural grassroots governance.
