Why didn't the ancient regime of China go to the countryside? What is the reason?
Because the clan consciousness in the ancient rural areas of China is particularly strong, most people who live together are people with the same surname and will respect their elders. Some things they will go to the ancestral temple in the village to solve, and they will not sue the government at all. Some villages are still relatively remote, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There is no way for the government to centrally manage these places. But we will not ignore it, and we will meet the people in power in the village, so that we can grasp the situation of a village.

China advocated centralization in ancient times, hoping to put power in the hands of the central authorities, but the power here is aimed at some big cities or a whole region, not specifically at the countryside at all. Because the consciousness of holding a group in rural areas is more serious, they will listen to the elders in the village and are still afraid of the government. Some things don't go to them at all. Coupled with the influence of traffic and culture, people in rural areas are relatively settled, know nothing, do not go to other places at all, and only live in seclusion.

China has a vast recovery and it is very difficult to master the rights of big cities, so many people need to be sent to be officials. The local government will count how many townships there are in a county, and then manage the localities well, while the central government will dock with these county officials and will not go directly to the countryside at all. Going directly to the countryside may require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, which is very unworthy. As long as there is no serious accident in this place, few Beijing officials will go directly to the village. Some netizens put forward their own views, saying that the victims of every regime change are the masses. If the masses have some rights, riots are likely to occur. After all, there is not so much culture, and there is not so much fear of kingship. The governors' preference for Ning was put forward by the villagers, which shows that their ambitions are still great.

This situation has changed in modern times, power is concentrated in the hands of the people, and there are also village committees and village branch secretaries in the village.
