对于乡土社会的研究是认识今日之中国的重要方面，而就可研究的诸多方面而言，纠纷问题一直是学术界关注的重点，乡村纠纷以冲突的形式呈现了乡土社会的真实样态及运作逻辑，本文正是基于纠纷问题对于研究乡土社会乃至整个中国社会的重要意义，以“过程—事件”分析法和个案延伸的方法，对东北龙村的一桩绵延数年的纠纷个案进行研究，尝试解读乡村纠纷中农民的行为选择，并以期还原当下乡村共同体的真实运作逻辑。研究发现，如今的乡村社会是一个情理趋于退场、国家不在场、法部分异化，而“力”的因素凸显的松散社区，“力”成为统摄乡村社会的力量。这里所说的“力”是基于对“情”、“理”、“法”及其他力量的交织掌控而拥有的综合势力。随着现代化与城镇化的发展，乡土社会的生计方式由单一向多元、由生存向欲望的转变，勾勒了不同于传统乡村社区的社会情境，这种社会情境的变化在个体层面表现为生活面向由内而向外，人们的经济利益的实现不再仅仅依靠村内土地，村庄社会社会成员开始冲破乡村限制转而向更为广阔的市场追求经济利益，这使得原有的人情关系及行为规则发挥效力的空间越来越小，村内的舆论压力趋于衰落，理义规则日益势微，曾经对于乡村生活至关重要的声誉威望、公共权力在经济地位面前都已经退居次位；在群体层面则表现为公共性的消解，个体不必再被嵌入到整体中生存，而是各自为营，曾经的乡村共同体逐渐蜕变为一个松散的社区，成员间的关联度明显下降，村庄内的村民缺乏维护共同利益的动力，缺乏一致的行动能力，更多的人的生活已经部分的抽离原有的乡村社区，原有的公共空间逐渐被虚拟空间所取代。个体生活面向的根本性转变增加了经济因素及村外力量在“力”的构成中的权重，而对于村庄整体而言，内部公共性的消解则是削弱了舆论因素、圈子力量以村内公权力对于“力”的影响，由此可见，“力”的内涵与构成之变化在一定程度上是反映整个乡村社会变迁的具体侧面，是现代化与市场化洪流裹挟乡村社会向前推进的一个客观结果。

The study of rural society is an important aspect for understanding nowadays China. Furthermore, academia values rural dispute problem as one of the numerous important researches in such area. The disputes present a real status and traceable logic of rural society as the point of view of the conflict. The article is based on the importance of researching disputes problems for rural society, also for the whole Chinese society. The “process-event analysis” and “extending cases” are the main research methods that applied for this paper. The author try to understand the peasants’ behavior choice through a dispute case which happened in Lung village in Northeast of China. In the study, it is found that people who captures the public power or gains economic advantages can control the process and the result of a dispute in nowadays rural society. The present rural society is a loose community in which human relations and principles are neglected. Besides, the country power is fail to lack of supervision, while law is not working according to the standards. So, the “power” is highlighted as the command force. The changing of power connotation and constitution reveals the process of rural social transformation. There is no denying that the order of rural society depends on the balance of power games.
