With the rapid development of China's economy and the widening gap between urban and rural areas, issues concerning rural social governance have become increasingly prominent. In order to address this problem, the legalization of rural governance has become a hot topic in current Chinese social science research. This paper elucidates the core concepts of rural governance and legalization, analyzes the challenges faced by the legalization of rural governance in China in the new era, and proposes optimization pathways, including the improvement of the legal regulatory system, clarification of organizational power boundaries, and innovation of popular legal education mechanisms and approaches. The implementation of these pathways will contribute to advancing the legalization process of grassroots rural social governance and enhancing the level of rural social development.
