Abstract: For a long time, rural customary law played an important role in rural areas with its unique normative content and normative form. New rural construction should not only emphasize the rule of law, but also pay attention to the combination with local customs, otherwise the “one size fits all” governance will become a mere formality and cannot be effectively implemented. In dealing with the problems related to rural areas, we should accurately grasp the conflict between the rural customary law and the national statutes, and strive to realize the interaction and integration between the rural customary law and the national statutes, which will be of great significance to strengthen the construction of the spirit of the rule of law in the new rural areas and the construction of the country ruled by law.

Key words: rural customary law, national statutes, new rural construction
